Hi ya, well I would never have realised, if you hadn't said, this is your first attempt of colouring on Kraft - it's perfect (as always). Gorjuss little stamp and lovely colours. I really, really must try this soon - have seen so many lovely cards using this technique - saw on someones blog that they coloured on the back of wrapping paper inner tubes - might give that a go.

I've tried a few times with Prismas and PMs (on my cut up card blanks, too!!lol) but not got such good results as you already have... assumed it would be impossible to do skin with pens, too... shall have to have a play!! :)
Hope you're feeling better soon!! And thanks for all your visits to my blog again!! :)
