Make It Monday #283 with Laurie's first video Watercolor Wash Background


Two cards for this week's MIM
with Laurie.
I made two because I wasn't totally happy with the first one I made which is actually the second one in the post.  It seemed to be all one color.  I went back in and added some color to the top and I like it better.  I think I like it the best of the two except for the smudge.  What do you think?
I tried the other method also, but was not happy with that one at all.
 
Laurie's Cards
Watercolor Wash Backgrounds by Laurie Schmidlin  

I used an oldie but goodie, Stitches and Swirls for the embossing and then used my Tansai, Gambi watercolors.  Still struggle with watercolors.  Do better using Ziggs or just PTI or Distress inks.
