Am in love with your adorable and gorgeous balloon watercolor card, Nina-Marie! Gosh, it was mesmerizing watching you! Love the extra movement the sequins added and am very inspired to try all of this! I forget to use watercolor and always grab my copics! So fun to watch you paint and swoosh with the inks!

Hi, Nina and SSS - Thanks for the reminder to use a "carrier" (acetate) sheet for smooshing. I don't like the other method much either... I can never get the blob of the color I want at the place I want it using that other method.

Love the ME stamps. I don't think I have those yet. I admire your skill; your result is a delight.
