My card for Tilda’s Town Challenges today is colored with Distress Markers in a watercolor way. I used Lovelypop Tilda for a birthday card because the theme is Celebrate!

Have you tried it? Here’s a video of how I color with Distress Markers on Canson Cold Press watercolor paper. It’s very basic but if you are curious how to begin, it might be an encouragement to you.

I did make this in HD, so you can click the gear and watch it that way if you want.

Here’s a close up but remember… I was coloring standing up so it’s kinda messier than usual! : ) I think coloring on Cold Press paper has a different look than Hot Press paper for sure and definitely different than Copic coloring. I have to keep telling my self that it’s ok! lol

I’m linking my birthday card to Seize the Birthday Challenge – option this time is coloring
And just to make you laugh…how would you answer this question? huh? Did you or didn’t you? Remember that white paste??? I do! lol

Thanks for stopping by! If you color with Distress Markers, let me know so I can visit you!

Magnolia, Tilda’s Town… Winter Fun!

January 11, 2014January 13, 2014 Pam Sparks18 Comments

Living in Iowa.. you know how to get ‘All Bundled Up’ to go outside for any amount of time. That’s the theme this week at Tilda’s Town Challenges!

I used the new In the Snow Heart Tilda and In the Snow Scarf Tilda. I just love how they look like they are having a snowball fight! It’s been too cold here to even think of being outside…now it’s the other extreme! lol Although if a person hurried, they could build a snowman quick before it melted.

I colored these cuties with Distress Ink markers on Canson Cold Press watercolor paper. I loved Jay Jay’s card using these two…love her watercoloring with pencils! I had to have them then! Stamps are great Christmas presents! lol

Here’s the Distress marker colors I used…

Face – tattered rose/worn lipstick on the cheeks

snowballs/sky – tumbled glass

red is all Fired Brick

Green is Peeled Paint

In the Snow Scarf Tilda – Brown is Vintage Photo (hat and pants) Shoes – Walnut Stain, Hair – Mustard and Vintage Photo

In the Snow Heart Tilda – pants – Faded Jeans, Shoes – Vintage Photo, Hair – Antique Linen and Walnut Stain

Ground – Pumice Stone

The tree is a Marianne Designs die… the snowflakes are a pack of embellishments I grabbed while out shopping one day…kinda crazy purchase when you have so many punches and dies already! ugh. They came in handy today when I needed something quick!

I used the Perfect Layers Tools to mat the image and the red layer. They are so awesome! Link on the right in the sidebar.

Thanks for stopping by today! It was fun to do some coloring. I’ll be back soon with a Printworks snowman and more NEW Memory Box!

‘O Holy Night’…looking at this card IRL takes me right to the true meaning of Christmas! I love this Nativity Collection from Magnolia Rubber Stamps! Edwin the Wiseman is colored with Distress markers on Canson watercolor paper and has a sparkly coat and crown from the Wink of Stella Clear Brush Glitter marker. I love the Star of Wonder Memory Box dies cut from the Silver Coredinations glitter card-stock too!
