Quick Tip

When making cards I use a sentiment that can be used for many uses. For example with this card although it says 4my friend inside you could add a sentiment for someone's birthday, missing you, feel better, thank you. Options are endless. Cut supplies for a bunch of them and make a stack and keep it generic so you can grab it and use it as needed.

Tutorial from Cheryl for coloring skin

For all of you new to Copics or alcohol markers (or even if you aren't) check out this tutorial by Cheryl Alger. Her images are great as well. She has a shop Filled with "digi images" so you order them and they are saved on your computer. Nice and easy!

This video also has some info and tricks.

When you print an image ensure you use card stock made for blending as it will help with your coloring. Also after printing you can set your image with a heat gun to help prevent smearing. If you use a laser printer I don't believe that step is necessary.
