We are also celebrating our 2nd birthday this month! :)
I love these colours together (Distress Inks: Ripe Persimmon, Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint, Tea Dye). This is the first time using Tea Dye ... LOVE the medium reddy brown colour. :) I have a few colours of distress inks that I haven't use ... always pull out my "favourites". But how do I know if they are my favourites if I haven't given the others's a try?? :) I need to play with the other colours ... tea dye was a success!
Here's a close-up ...
Stamps: magnolia rhapsody (penny black); gratitude (penny black)
Paper: Watercolour (Arches 140 lb. hot press)
Ink: Distress Markers: Ripe Persimmon, Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint, Tea Dye (Tim Holtz)
Accessories & Tools: Water mister, rectangle stitched frame (AliExpress)

Oh Loll! this is so pretty! I love these brushstrokes images. Your card is so elegant : )
A great save and a BEAUTIFUL card Loll! Your water coloring with the distress inks is so pretty (btw...tea dye is one of my FAVORITES!!) and don't you just LOVE that little peek-a-boo die window for cards? I think it's probably one of my most favorite dies to use!! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! :0)
This looks totally intentional, Loll! Love, love, love this pretty magnolia in these colors and framed! Tea Dye is a color I don't have...yet! Guess I need to get some of that!
Great point about making sure we try all our colours! And a great save of your beautiful watercolouring on the magnolia - love just that little bit behind the stitched frame!
Simply beautiful magnolia watercolored with Fall colors, Loll. Perfect for the CWCC color challenge. TFS and again..Congratulations to you and Bonnie and the DT for your 2nd Birthday. Time does fly! TFS my friend. Hugs..Nancy
I hate it when the last thing you do (the sentiment ruins the look. Amazing save and love those colours :)
This is simply gorgeous, Loll. Love the colors and the layout you ended up with. Simple elegance.
Soft and so very pretty, Loll ... the colour combo is just delicious! Hugs, Anita :)

I don't know what the original looked like, Loll, but this card is so your style. Beautiful in every way.
You've made a masterpiece out this Magnolia, great save and incredibly beautiful result. Love the clean appeal to this wonderful card! Bravo! xx
Oh my goodness, this is a stunning image, a stunning card! I so love the colors of distress inks you have used and yes tea dye is a great one! I don't know that there are any that I don't love. lol I love how you did the window and the sentiment below it, it looks so beautiful. Hugs, Brenda
This looks beautiful, the colours are so pretty together and I love the stitched frame xx
Oh, just lovely as can be! Very pretty flower in gorgeous color! Beautiful stitched frame, too!
Love how you used part of the image and what a happy accident. Accident or not I never think to use just part of an image and I really must as it looks stunning. Such a beautiful card and love the watercolour effect. Yes I have favourites too but we really shouldn't :) x
This is beautiful, Loll. Great idea to use just part of the stamp, I always forget that. Lovely use of the colours too.
Tea Dye was definitely a success...thanks for the reminder to look at all of our colors :) Such a gorgeous bloom and great save by cutting down your design, Loll...Love this beautiful card!
This is lovely and a great save. Beautiful colors and maybe a new "favorite"?
The brushstroke image looks beautiful peeking out from the frame! Love the color combo!
A very romantic card, Loll! I love this set of colors, it creates such a sophisticated picture. And yes, you are completely right, DI Tea Dye is wonderful :-)
