Oh, Baby!

I've been making baby cards--lots of them! Two different friends needed baby cards, and one wanted 8 to use on the nursing unit where she works. So...I've been playing with a coloring technique on some of them and I'll show you two of those.

Megan, an Angel friend, posted a blog entry and link to a video tutorial on how to use Bic Markers and Sharpies instead of Copics. I decided to give it a whirl and have been playing with them for a while. The green card is sort of "non-traditional" because it's bright green instead of all pastel in pink and blue and yellow. I'm pleased with the results for my newbie efforts.

Later I'll show you more... Be sure to come back for those! :-)
