I was inspired to enter the challenge over at Marvelous Magnolia by Linda Levoir, one of the DT members. She has made a wonderful card for the challenge and you can see it on her blog Sticky with Glitter . I only have three Magnolia Tilda stamps at the moment so I chose one which looked fairly simple to colour as I intended to try something new. Instead of using my Promarkers I thought I would try water colouring with Distress Inks for a change.
Card Recipe

As it's my first attempt at water colouring with DI's I don't think it turned out too bad. I know what to change for next time now. The challenge at Marvelous Magnolia requires lace in your project and as I've almost covered mine up here's a close up just to prove it's there, lol.

A gorgeous card. The colouring with DIs is brilliant and I love the layout.
Thank you for joining in with the Scribble & Scrap challenge and good luck x
What a lovely card Lorraine, you are brave trying out the distress inks, something I've wanted to do myself for a while but not gathered the courage to do yet :P I think it's a fantastic job for a first attempt and a very pretty card. Love the Tilda you've chosen and she looks so happy and sunny in yellow. I know where you're coming from about covering the lace, it's something I constantly do myself, but I think you can see more of yours than mine hehe. Thanks for joining our Lovely Lace challenge at Marvelous Magnolia and good luck :) xx
Oh this is soooooo gorgeous.

I applaud you for the DI watercoloring. Although I've tried it a bit, I'm more comfortable with my markers. :-) Your colors just pop and bring a smile to my face. Lovely job with this sweet little princess. Hugs!
Such a lovely card Lorraine!! The colouring is lovely (I've not attempted to use DI's yet) and the design of your card is so pretty!
