The month is half over - how did that happen????? I was waiting for inspiration to use Tim's technique for his June tag. It finally happened...here's the result.
This is the first time I've been pleased with the outcome of using the distress markers on watercolor paper. I discovered that I needed a lighter touch of the marker to the paper. I'ved used them plenty of times just to use as regular watercolors by scribbling on my craft sheet. They always turn out good that way...at least for me.
