Dawn is keeping me SO busy, copying her videos to my blog. Thanks Dawn! This is a wonderful video of Dawn making a matching set - card and envelope. It's a great watch.
Creating cards using a brayer technique is all the rage right now. Dawn does it beautifully in the following video. Thank you Dawn. You really are quite amazing!

Amazing to me, I just learned about the "Black Magic Technique". I'm adding a YouTube video of it here, which I know I'll be referring back to later. Hope you enjoy.
It's a very easy technique and a great way to use your solid stamps : stamp your solid image using white Craft ink onto black card. Dry with your heat gun. Now use your SU Pure coloring pencils to color the white parts .
Now for the 'Magic' bit..... Highlight the lines of the image with a white Gel pen which really makes it pop! Also, try using a Sakura Stardust pen instead. They come in lots of colors and work on dark as well as light paper.
