I started by applying Gesso on the wc paper, let it dry. The Gesso helps prevent the watercolor from sinking so quickly into the paper. Sprinkled Brusho powder (yellow, purple, green, blue), misted with water then tipped it 'til the colors ran slightly together. Before it could dry, I used an eye dropper to place large drops of water on it - that spread the color, giving it a marbled effect. Put in the sun to dry, then die cut stamped and assembled.

Ah - now that's something I must try - gesso first. I haven't had much success (that I was happy with) with glossy card, but that might give enough extra smoothness compared to plain paper. You really do such amazing things with your Brushos, Priscilla, and create fabulous backgrounds.
