DISASTER

I'm guessing the material thing is not my forte. I tried to do this butterfly on material and as you can see it was a total disaster.
I had bought these Fabric Markers a while back and never used them. I'm thinking I should have used Fabric Crayons instaed.
So I thought, why not give it a try now.
VERY, VERY bad idea. I either can't follow directions right, or the directions are.... well messed up. (I'm hopeing it's the latter).
Nevertheless here is my great adventure with coloring material.
HELP!!!!!! What did I do wrong here?

Oh well, if I can believe anything it says on the Directions, it will wash out as long as I don't heat set it. We shall see if that at least is right.

Thanks Carol, I will try that.
It started out so good, ha ha.
Well at least after the frustration wore off, I had a good laugh. Trial and error I guess.

Thanks again

Dianne

Have a good one

I think the stitch will create the outline you want, Tonniece. And the fabric paint bleed will create a beautiful watercolor effect. :)
Looking forward to see you transform this butterfly.

*A little confession: I stitch badly & messily. If I paint the picture first then my stitch doesn't look so botchy. Where ever the baldspots are, the paint cover it. Hehehe.

Thank you both, I will give this a try. I really want it to look good, and I think you are right about stitching it.
Thanks for the advise.
