Got a late start doing the challenge today and then I got the bright idea I would try to water color it since I have never done water coloring. I have a long way to go, it is hard to get the water consistency right, either I have too much or not enough. Haven't figured out how to do the shading yet, but maybe I will practice soon.

Lovely and a great job on the watercoloring too!

Your card is gorgeous. Watercoloring does take practice, but your 1st card is wonderful. Did you use an aqua painter? I find having a papertowel nearby is very helpful and then adding layers of colors until you get the look you want. TFS
