You may remember this post where I grieved about watercoloring with Zig Clean Color Brush pens. My results always seemed so heavy handed. I know many of you scribble the Zigs onto an acrylic block and pick the color up to paint with. But I wanted to make the pen to paper thing work, ya know? Eliminate a step.
This Bristol paper is the answer. Its smooth nature makes moving and blending the color with a water brush pretty darn easy.
Here's my first example. I couldn't resist pulling out the pink and yellow to color this STAMPlorations In Bloom Plumeria when I googled and found this photo.

Added a light and sweet sentiment from Avery Elle Oh Happy Day and voila!
Tomorrow I'll share my second card from this crafting session. Have a good day!
