Thinking of You mixing your own colors with watercolor pencils

Today's watercolor technique is how to mix your own colors to make a new color to suite your needs.  I've used some last chance product on this card so hurry and get yours if you want it and don't already own it.  The Thoughtful Wishes stamp set is already on low inventory.  Once inventory is depleted, it will be gone for good.  To see how I've mixed my own colors, be sure to watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel.
