Last Friday night I really wanted to sit down and stamp but instead I spent the time with my husband. We sat down together and put on a movie. Thankfully Andrew didn't mind when I moved to the table and pulled out my supplies to color while the movie was going. It was nice to listen to the movie with my husband on the couch filling me in on what I was missing with my eyes. By the time the DVD's were done I had these wonderful images all prettied up and ready to be made into cards later. When I play with coloring like this it's usually an experiment. This time around was no different. I recently acquired a small collection of Copic markers and thought I'd give try at blending Prismacolor pencils on top of them. This worked out beautifully and I have Marianne to thank for the coloring tips.
I don't know if you've visited Marianne's blog, I Like Markers, yet but if you are in love with coloring like I am her site is a must. Marianne is a Copic master and she graciously shares her marker techniques in a way that the average stamper like me can grasp. I've gone through a couple of her tutorials and in doing so I've been able to notice more about color and coloring techniques. Actually, I've perused through her entire blog and I can't wait for her to post more! Someday I hope to become Copic certified!
Oh, thank you for visiting me today. It is a blessing to be a part of your lives and to be able to have a place to share.
Smiles,

I often either sit and color OR sit and cut out images when I'm watching T.V. (a rarity for me)! I find both activities so relaxing! You coloring is beautiful and I can't wait to see these images on future cards! Wish we could have an opportunity for Copic certification in the South-East!
