Watercolor Crazy and Secrets

Yep, she's looney. Derwent Inktense Pencil crazy. I wanted to paint. 

I wanted to paint images I don't have in my stamps. Generally printing an image on watercolor paper is nearly impossible. It's incredibly thick. But I have a secret weapon! My new printer (Brother "business smart" MFC-J44100W) has a cardstock feeder from the back of the machine. The paper feeds in almost flat (some/most printers feed paper from a "U" or "L" angle). I fed Strathmore Watercolor Cold-Press 140lb through my home printer!! 

Opening a whole new world for me!
