This is proof that you should never throw away your creative efforts. I colored this daisy a long time ago with Pearl Ex palettes, but didn't like the card it was mounted on. So I took it and the darker blue piece it is attached to and mounted on lighter blue piece that I had scored with the scorpal and ran a line down with the scor bug. then I stamped the black image on a white base and voila- a card that I can use for thinking of you or happy birthday.

Coloring with Copics

I bought the Copics set A as a half price item and have been practicing coloring with them. This is my first success.  It does take a little bit of practice and I may not do as well the next time, but I wanted to show off my first efforts. I really like the way it turned out. BTW, I used the "microscope" technique(punching a circle and using a pop dot to raise part of the image) with the butterfly to cover the one underneath because I didn't like the colors I had originally picked.

Coloring with Colored Pencils and Baby Oil

I colored this image with Prismacolor Pencils(regular, not watercolor) just along the lines, then went over the coloring with a Fantastix dipped in baby oil, blending the color in toward the center of the image.Where I wanted more color, I made to sure to color with a heavy hand before adding the baby oil. I really like the effect this gives to the coloring. This is supposed to be like coloring with odorless mineral spirits, but I used the baby oil because I had some in the house.
