This was a fun Watercolor Wednesday that I couldn't really screw up. Although I think it's another one of those weeks that I would've gotten better results if I had actual watercolors instead of my Spectrum Aqua markers. But, I have what I have. I followed the video and chose blues and greens for my color scheme. I was excited that I actually do have masking fluid, so I splattered that first. And I need to use masking fluid more often because it was so neat peeling it off and seeing the white that was left. I didn't have a plan for how I was going to use this until I finished and realized it looked like balloons to me. So I drew in some messy balloon shapes with my gel pen and then went looking for a humorous birthday sentiment. I think everyone knows what this is going to say on the inside, but I think it's a fun sentiment anyway. "2) Forget the present, I didn't get you one!"

I had invested in some of those liquid watercolors in a tube, but just could not get those to work for me. So at Sam's this month I splurged and bought a nice set of a water color box that came as a set with paper, brushes, pencil and eraser. Not a bad deal and having much better results. I do like the results I get with distress oxide inks for watercoloring too. I really think your card turned out well with whatever you used. My WC skills are still a work in progress for me!!

Super fun and cheerful card, Jennifer. I meant to use masking fluid and forgot....duh. Funny sentiment inside....unless it had been for me, of course. Ha
