Red is a strong vibrant color and has a lot of emotion in it. It can also cause a lot of emotion when you're in the middle of a great project and it bleeds into your other colors. Here are some tricks for keeping your reds in place. If you look closely at this cute little stamp from Hero Arts (click on image to enlarge), you can see that his red shirt has bled out. I colored him in the

The image is so tiny that it is very easy to blend, and coloring took only a couple minutes. I started with BV00 for the centers of each flower, then blended in RV00 to create the base tone for the image. To blend, I simply colored in circles over each petal until the BV00 softened out into the pale pink. For contrast, I added E04, then softened it in with a bit more BV00 and RV00. My leaves

Coloring Hair Today I want to share some great news, show you a simple tutorial. Hair Colors One of the questions that came up a number of times was how to color hair.  I've talked about coloring hair before, but it's a subject that is always handy to review. First of all, hair comes in many colors. You can choose almost any color combination of browns, yellows, YR, R, grays... you get the idea.

Coloring black objects can be tricky, so I wanted to leave you an example of coloring something black that's got some shape and detail areas to it. Coloring a Black Cat Around the Copic warehouse live 6 cats that were abandoned and are now adopted by our crew. Four of the cats are all black, so sometimes just walking to the door at work I'll have a couple black cats cross my path, but I never

On soft cardstock the dense dye particles of dark colors want to spread more than those of light colors. This includes dark browns, deep reds, and intense purples and blues, as well as grays. Be careful! Only use as much marker as you need to get it smooth, don't worry so much about soaking the paper. Try to avoid coloring all the way to the lines if you know your paper will feather easily (

I was trying to decide on what to call my website & my asked my girl friend to help me. She basically came up with " She sure stamps a lot" and said, " Why not call it " Sirstampsalot"?

To make this sampler, you cut equal lengths of ribbon. Then you punch 3/4" squares of black cardstock. Each piece of ribbon was folded over at the top and then sandwiched between two pieces of cardstock before being secured with an eyelet. I would never have done this project this way if it weren't for the new Crop a Dile. It was so easy to punch through all the layers of paper and ribbon. And

With the new ink pads, it's hard to see what color it is, so I use a word document that has all the colors in it & print it out on Avery's adhesive paper. Then I punch each of the words with the new word punch and stick them to the ends of the pads. All of the words fit perfectly on each pad.
