Hello everyone :o)
I've always said I'm useless at water colouring, but it's something I'd love to master... so I've bought a few (ahem... 17...) distress markers to try out, and see how I get on with them.
Here's my very first attempt...
I'm actually quite happy with this, and I think if I stick to bears we could pretend I've almost got the hang of the markers.... However, if you pop back later today to see my second attempt, you'll see that I really haven't got a clue lol! I'm having fun though, that's the main thing eh?
I'm entering my card for the following challenges
Less is More - water colour
Simon Says - anything goes
LOTV Monthly - male or sporty
I'll be back later with my Sugar Nellie DT card... Hope you have a lovely day :o)
I think you've done a fab job with James. Love this card!

Lisa you needn't worry about your watercolouring ... this is perfect and I'm sure you'll get lots of use out of the distress markers.
ReplyDeleteYour colouring is always fantastic and looks like you've taken to the distress inks like a duck to water.
Thanks so much for sharing and taking part.

Great job Lisa!! James looks fab!! I find the shading far easier to achieve than with alcohol markers, as you just wash out the colour. I should do more really!! xx
ReplyDeleteLovely card and your first use of Distress Markers? Great job
