What a cute card!! Love it, esp the colour-combo & the frogs. I must buy myself some different stamps (I only own 8 tildas & 3 sets of woodware clear stamps, LOL!).
To answer your question, I used my whisper pens and my whisper blender pen to colour the image on my entry. I was using the whispers with water just like watercolours, but I had a problem with them bleeding (not sure whether it was my technique or my impatience to let each dry!). So now I stick to colouring the places where I want the darker shadow with a colour and then use the blender pen to drag the colour out into where I want the lihjter colour (hope that makes sense!?). [I've even experimented with using special watercolour paper, but it turn out any better than using normal white thick card!].
Anyway, thanks for your lovely comments, and I'll visit again soon!

I am Debra but known as Debbie to most. I am a single parent to three beautiful children. Olivia 11, Jacob 6 and Declan 3. Life is very busy for me running around after my three children most of the time, I like to make cards and scarpbook to help me relax, mainly in the evenings or weekend. I look forward to enetering many challenges and making new friends along the way. I like to share tips and ideas but please do not copy my work and use in mag competitions etc. If you visit me please leave a little comment good or bad on my work otherwise how can i improve without your opinions and i can also take a look at your work to.
hugs Debbie
