Challenge

This week's challenge comes from our February Calico Classroom teacher, Amy Tan!  She put together this great video sharing a fun watercolor technique using our woodgrain journal.  Check it out:

Here are the supplies Amy used:

And a few close-ups of her album:

This week's challenge is to take a cue from Amy and play with paint!  Bring out those watercolors or acrylic paints and create something beautiful.  We hope you'll give Amy's technique a try too.  Link up whatever you create here by Monday, January 30 for your chance to win a SC GC. 

And don't forget to sign up for Amy's Stretch Your Kit class for more amazing inspiration from her! 
Registration ends January 31st so head on over and check it out.
