Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
Kathy Racoosin is in Day 4 of her 10 Day Coloring Challenge
and I've just had a chance to participate.
I love to color and find it so relaxing.
I'd color and do nothing else....but life happens!
Finally, I sat down and tried the technique that Kathy used on day 1.
Here's what I did...
I used a Lavinia stencil and lightly blended Tumbled Glass Distress Ink through it.
I veered from Kathy's technique because this stencil covered more area than
her stencil did. I chose the pencil colors and decided I would cut this piece in half.
One side uses blue and violet. The other side has blue and green and I added
some color with my Caran d'ache Supracolor pencils.
After blending with water, this is what it looked like.
Hopefully this will end up on two cards.
Stay tuned to see if that happens.

You did a fabulous job with watercolor pencils. Because the word "water" is in it I never had success with those. I can't wait to see how you finish this up!
