Ok June, I am going to send you on a wild goose chase, but you will be happy you did!!
Mary Giemza has a great tutorial that you can check out, and be sure to check out other tuts and her blog, you will fall in love!! Kim Piggott gave this tutorial for Magnolia 2 and it is also fab. Kim's blog is amazing, she will illustrate the use of distress inks in a whole new light.
Don't give up!! Once you get the hang of them, there is no turning back!! The colour saturation and control of depth is too brilliant to stand!! Good luck, and by the way, your Mo image looks beautiful!! And I layer while still wet, distress once it's dry, that's just what I do when I've got patience enough to use distress inks.

I love distress inks and looks like you did a FANTASTIC job already! I wait till my image is dry and then distress my background. The paper does go a bit wobbly but not to much perhaps you need to have a heavier weight water colour paper (you are using water colour paper right?)because once you stick it on a card it is all good!
Hope that helps a little feel free to e-mail me for anything I can help with!

Hi, June! How nice to "meet" another June that is young (except I'm a Libra; I was born in October.)

I saw your name on another blog and I had to come "see" your creations. I love your blog! I will be following you; your creations are gorgeous. Sorry, I don't have any advice for you on distress inks. Your image looks fab to me :)

Hi June
Was going to suggest Kim Piggott but I see someone else got there before me! Hope you've had time to take a look. Your card is lovely anyway, even without the tutorial.
