Happy First Day of Spring!

Happy 1st day of Spring!  It's a beautiful day here is Texas...sun is shining, weather is sweet--oh wait!  Aren't those words to a song?  I do believe they are...thank you very much Bob Marley

So Sunday's are going to be "Seeking Sunday"...meaning I'm seeking knowledge about something, whether it be a new technique, product, idea...anything...

Today was either going to be card making using the resist technique or water coloring.  I couldn't find my embossing powders (found 2 of them later on) so by default, water coloring it is.  In some of the Facebook groups that I'm in, of late I've been seeing lots of water colored images, so in my Jill of all trades, master of none mode, I set out to learn and actually make something today.  I turned to my trusty pal...YouTube...and as I had Spectrum Aqua Markers, I set about finding a tutorial that would at least give me the basics on what's involved and how to go about water coloring.  Here's the video I watched.  After watching, I was ready to go...water color paper...check...Memento Ink...check (kinda sorta); aqua painter...check; Spectrum Aqua markers...check and stamp...check...ready to roll.


Stamp by Stampendous
Here's where I started... and here are some steps in between, and where I finished with the coloring.  Working on making the card...don't tell, this one goes to someone special.
