There remind me of all those awesome watercolour cards I keep envying! Did you mask of areas? Or was every single shape painted freehand?

It was masked with frisket, but poorly at that! I learned a hard lesson on this one: I used a air dyer to try to speed along the dry time of the frisket, but it actually turned into glue and ruined the surface of the paper. I'm glad I learned the lesson on a piece I wasn't deeply attached to, but it was what I get for rushing it!

Masking is one of those things we ALL learn the hard way. I've ruined many a-paper trying to gauge the time, length, and substance to get it to dry faster, or how long before rubbing off. Oye.

Yeppppp. These days I just let it sit for 24 hours and it *seems* to do the trick, but man, it is totally a trial by fire.

Funny, because some of my bottles say do NOT let it sit more than 24 hours... but I'm sure I've let a few of mine sit for 3 days. Go figure... so much trial and error. We have to write all of the scenarios down. For posterity, and for science.
