I spent two whole hours watercolouring it and I even topped it off with a whole heap of marker work to make it look more interesting. I was so happy with it I went and took a break then when I came back it had bled everywhere! I was devistated! I did a bit of saving work and made it ok but it still looks a little 'fluffy'. I have never had any trouble with watercolour paper before this... I did learn a lesson though... ALWAYS let the paper dry completely before adding accents with the marker! Then they wont bleed!
Thanks Jeanne S for attempting this huge lion stamp before me... I don't know where I would have started watercolouring if I didn't see your card first!
Oh, this is my first attempt at trying to use pattern paper on my cards... thats something I really should work on too!

Holy cow, this is amazing! Your coloring is just wonderful on all of your cards. The paper is perfect. I wouldn't send this as a card, I would send it as a room decoration!

The bleeding doesn't show and it looks absolutely gorgeous. I love how you used the blue and green in the bg paper in the colors on the grass and sky. Gorgeous!
