Nicola that stamp is beautiful
How do you get the watercolours looking so lovely, I am having major problems with my whisper pens.
2belle your creations are lovely, thanks for sharing

Oh dear, best thing to try getting used to them, if you are colouring a stamped image like mine, use stazon and leave it to dry thoroughly, then sqribble with a whispers pen on an acrylic block or a piece of packaging and add water with a paint brush, then just add it to your image like paint.
Not all card lets the colour bleed when wet, you will just get a pen line, so that is a good way to add the colour, if the card bleeds the colour when wet you can add the darker colour ontop, when the initial colour has dried, the pens wont work on wet, if you tried to colour on a wet piece of card, they just dont comeout,then you need to let the pen rest, to re absorb its ink,with the lid on ofcourse.Try that give me a shout if you still get stuck, tell me what your having problems with,it could just be the card, glossy photo paper is fantastic for this effect!!Have put a pic on of using the pens on cheap pound shop gloss photo paper.xxx
