Ugh! No line coloring! Nothing like really showcasing my lack of watercolor talent by hiding the lines. I did my best and dressed it up with Stickles and a glittery frame. I'm glad I have watercolor markers, because I wouldn't have even done this well with regular watercolors. On the bright side, the no line watercoloring challenge let me use a digi for the WCW challenge. I never use digis to watercolor because I can't get the ink to not run. Didn't matter today. I lightened up the lines on the digi and printed it out with light gray lines. I sure do hope when we get to WCW100, I can look back at these first ones and see that I've improved. Well, have a colorful day, friends!

Oh, how cute is this card....Very! And, your digi worked great for the no line watercoloring. I like how colorful you did it and the sentiment went great with it. So glad you are joining us in these challenges. Now, that wasn't so HARD, was it?

Smiling here....this is really great. First using the lower opacity for the digi is what I do so it does not bleed. It took me along time to figure that out...you did on your first try. The fun colors make this one happy card. So glad you joined the challenge. TFS

You've got a whole 2 years, I'm sure you will see some wonderful improvements. I've never done this technique when it was asked for (I avoided it). Love the colorful rainbow chameleon! Pretty sparkly border and lovely sparkle too~

Lovely bright rainbow chameleon - think he is a novice at camouflage and probably needs more practice before hr ventures out any further. Such a sweet card.
