• Instructions from Katie Cotton:
• "We used Wayne from the Beautiful Day Fairies collection from Paper Makeup Stamps. His overalls were the perfect example of both these beautiful blue colors and some neat stuff you can do with blender solution! The paper we used on the card is from Pretty Little Studio."
• "First we colored the overalls ONLY using B32, B34, B37 and B39. We were coloring on Xpress-It cardstock. Xpress-It cardstock is much thinner than Neenah and much MUCH thinner than PTI or Gina K's paper. Because it is thinner, I personally feel like it needs less ink. THe bonus is that I can color from the darkest color in (good for high contrast blending) and still have an ease in blending the colors together. Sorry, i got sidetracked! First color the overalls completely, but ONLY the overalls. Then we took some blender solution and put a bit on a pair of jeans (it doesnt damage the jeans, so any jeans will do. We used my 2 year old's because they were easy for me to take to class!). Then press the jean material over the image. Just press down 1 time and lift. Dabbing will ruin the jean pattern you are stamping onto the image. See below."

  "Nifty, huh? Now you can finish coloring the image. Here we used E25 and E21. Thank goodness Copic is coming out with an E23! I do have a makeshift E23 that I let my class use if they needed help blending the 2 very different different in value colors together. :D"
