So, I took an online card class.....

Yep. Finally jumped on the OCC* bandwagon and I'm getting learnt. This card is the result of day one of Watercolor: Exploring Mediums Day 1. I'm a bit behind, but I plan to be getting crafty all day today. I've used my much neglected Marvy Uchida markers to watercolor the image. This was a practice-and-learn-as-you-paint kinda coloring job, so it's water colory is some spots, and not so much in others. But I'm happy for the most part how it came out. Check it:

 Here's the finished inside.

(The sentiment didn't ink well in some places. But, I've ordered

a MISTI, so I'll be getting better coverage soon! Woot Woot!)

I based my coloring skillz using Jennifer McGuire's 3rd video on day 1. Using Marvy Uchida markers, a paint brush, and a cup-o-water, I tried to watercolor the gold embossed image. Yeah, I know, I still have a lllloooonnnnggggg way to go. But it's a first attempt. I'll continue to keep at it. ☺

In case you are wondering, here are the markers I used:

I think my problem was that when I tried to go over some of the places, I didn't leave the paper to dry completely, so it still looks too blended and not so splotchy, as watercolor should look. Oh well. 

Well, back to the grind. Practice, practice practice! LOL! Have a great day!
