Computer Tricks for Cards -- Lesson 6 and 7

I love the watercolor technique taught for this card.  It's something I'll use again.  The watercoloring is subtle but if you look real close you can see the orange color.  I painted the watercolor onto a piece of rubber shelf liner and then pressed it against the watercolor paper.  Unfortunately, I glued the front down a bit crooked so I'll use it as a sample.

I made so many mistakes on this card!  It was supposed to use gel medium and an inkjet transfer sheet.  The gel medium dried out before I could even place the transfer onto it.  That didn't really matter because my printer chewed up the only transfer sheet I had!  So...I just printed out the image on a piece of cardstock and distressed it.  The circles were supposed to be 1-1/2" but I only had a 1-3/4" inch punch.  It would have looked much better with the smaller circles, but that's they way today has been going!

The watercolour card is beautiful. I'm afraid most of this class has been beyond me....my digital knowledge is just not good enough!!
