Refreshing distress marker color ~ Watercolor Wednesday

For Watercolor Wednesday on the Unity blog, I am sharing a way to extend the life of distress markers for use with watercolor.

Sentiment:  It is the smallest things that take up the most room in your heart.

For this card, I stamped onto watercolor paper and then die-cut the panel.  My distress markers were not as juicy as they once were and no longer blend easily.  So, I applied color to the craft mat along with water to create water colors.  This is one way to extend the life of watercolor markers.

The full article and tutorial are up on the Unity blog.

I also made a quick video tutorial showing the process for this project.
