Something new…watercolor markers

Hello Friends, How are you?  I have been experimenting with these watercolor markers for days. I have a tutorial for Penny Black this Friday and I decided NOT to use this card because it didn’t turn out. I hope you have been checking out all of the great techniques on the Penny Black blog this week?

It’s almost impossible to show the shading with my photography … maybe I need a new camera 🙂

I stamped the wrong color for the text in the background. Inked it up without looking…big bummer but, if that’s all that I have going on I will be very thankful.

This is a quick post I had to take a break. Have a great evening or day. Hugs, Kathy

    To my un-trained eye this looks absolutely fabulous…your colors literally leap off the page! Love it! I saw the new Penny Black Valentine’s supplement and noticed your gorgeous work…so impressed!
    bless you my friend!

    Like Nancy, I think it looks lovely Kathy,.. but you are such a perfectionist yea? Love the shading and colours you used. Now I can’t wait to see what you DO use for Friday

    I think you are having that critical “artist’s eye.” It looks amazing to me. The purples have a lot of depth…

    I didn’t think there was anything wrong with your card. Even the background colour is nice.

    Wow if this isn’t a keeper, Kathy, I would hate to see one that you throw away! LOL! 🙂 It’s bright and beautiful! Different mediums have their unique challenges – I am sure you will master this too.
