ATC 'RED" continues

Well, just got my reciepent assigned to me for the ATC. dog gone it- I am not done yet. I am continuing... I cut the 2.5 x 3.5 ATC out of an index card. Moved it across my page of red. I found what I thought was a pleasing group of reds and patterns.Taping it down in place, I then made a templet of the letter "R". I slipped it in under the first template. Taking watercolor, sponging it over adding water to thin now and again.I kept it in place while it dried. Now how I am going to paint in the next step without moving the watercolor already applied...I have yet to figure.
Tips welcomed!!
