watercolor for card makers: day 1

I'm playing along in the watercolor class (more deets on that in a sec). Managed to get through Jen's technique on Day 1. I know, I'm slow but juggling work and I don't want to feel rushed and I'm enjoying the process.

Okay, perhaps if you squinted and turned your head a bit you might be able to see the Huey Mask that I used?

Seriously, in real life, you can see the triangle mask, well, a bit, it just isn't being picked up in my photog.

How thrilled am I that I WON a 'seat' in the Online Card Classes: watercolor for card makers. A big shout out to the awesome Yana!

Here are my supplies:

Studio Calico Mister Huey's Mask, Triangles

I've got 2 words:

Patience Grasshopper

I have no patience...seriously.

I was super impatient waiting for the ink to dry. I know that every time I 'peeked' I was ruining the technique. I will definitely give this another try!

Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Silver Sugar

The water colored portion has such luxurious sheen from both the Fireworks and Tattered Angels ink!

I was thoroughly inspired by the current

Runway Inspired Challenge

Next up is technique #2 taught by Laura Bassen...she's a funny gal!

I've tried this technique before and I think if I practice more I'll get the hang of it. My plan is to post my original cards using the techniques with a follow up post using it after some 'practice', kwim?

My card seems kind of muddled

...but I still like the end product.
