    Did you use the 'good' watercolour in making the practice ATCards or the cheaper paper??

    Hi Leslie, I like to use a heavier paper for the ATC's and postcards, #140 (or higher). I think that Ranger (?) makes ATC's and cards in watercolor paper already cut up.

    The link to the Oven Mat that I use as a craft mat is also in Lesson 2. Here is the link to LTD Commodities. They are less expensive and larger than the Ranger brand. http://bit.ly/1MhTn3f
