LET IT SNOW

Hello. 

I'm out of my comfort zone again today,
playing with watercolours.
I bought a set of the zig clean color real brush markers -
so I have to learn how to use them, right?

After watching a gazillion videos, here's my attempt at a watercolour background  ;-)


After playing along at CAS Mix it Up last week, I stumbled across 
their watercolour challenge.
Perfect for getting lots of inspiration and seeing how it's done.

For a first try with Zigs you did AMAZING Caroline!! I can't tell you how long I had a love/hate relationship with Zigs...took lots of time and practice for me to get comfortable with them!! Your background turned out wonderful with the Zigs and I'm really loving the gradient you achieved...so many lovely shades of blue! A fabulous Winter scene...thanks so much for sharing this beauty with us at CAS Watercolour!! :0)

Fantastic! Love the ombre. I use my zigs more than distress markers. They are so versatile. I hope you enjoy them:) Thanks so much for sharing at the CAS Watercolour Challenge.
