    The link to get Laurie's address is not working. If one of the OCC members would email me with it, I'd be very greatful.

    Love all these beautiful samples! I have tried most of these techniques (played with but haven't taken the copic plunge quite yet!)...my favorite is watercoloring. Love to layer in the color. I made one last Halloween card, uploaded it this morning...can that count?

    Love Laurie, so please send me her address!

    Love this challenge and your DT samples. Gorgeous work. My favorite way of coloring images is by regular markers and water brush. On this image I combined it with aquarelle color pencils. You can see my card here

    Thanks for the challenge and wonderful cards everyone! I love the look of watercoloring, but have always struggled with it. I'm still trying and happy that it seems to be improving, somewhat.

    This was good practice for me! Coloring is not my strong suit, especially with markers. This turned out well however. Here it is: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1117327?cat=500&ppuser=156271. Thanks for the challenge!
