Good morning everyone. Hope you are all well on this Saturday. I must admit it is a bit cold here in Melbourne Australia. Brrrrrr....!!!!! At least it doesn't snow here otherwise I wouldn't be able to adjust to the cold. I don't know how you ladies overseas do it when it snows so much. Your heating must be super good.
Anyway - my card. I have been trying to watercolour with not a lot of success but I have finally figured out what I had been doing wrong. I hadn't been wetting the paper before colouring which seemed to be the key. So here is my first watercoloured image. It isn't perfect but it still is good enough for a card. LOL.
I made this with the sketch from Cute Card Thursday and the Just Magnolia Challenge this week of 'In the Garden'.
Have a good weekend everyone.

Trace, great job with the watercolouring, I love this sweet Tilda, she is perfect for so many occasions. The papers are so bright and cheery and love the border punch and flowers. Hugs Jodie from Oz
