Can you tell yet that I just absolutely love this new stamp set called “On the Grow”! I actually made this card for Sue.

If you want to learn how to watercolor, this paper is the best! When you incorporate a “Blender Pen” and whatever medium you prefer..water color pencils, water color crayons or your inks……all of them work exceptionally well on this paper:
Notice how I highlighted the whole image with a light shade of yellow? When you complete the whole coloring of the image, try this little trick. It brings out the image and it also brings out the colors you used in coloring your image. I sometimes use a light tan or a light blue also, depending on the other colors I used.
