Start with a little bit, you can always add more for shading. <br />I also use the Stamp-a-majig just to make sure I have a good impression.<br />Keep practicing Valerie and please, keep visiting, I just love reading all the comments, thank you so much for yours.Maria Rodriguez.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14975622954781952749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906821977326854247.post-87230895347710564302015-06-24T12:47:48.171-04:002015-06-24T12:47:48.171-04:00LOL!!

Gotta love House Mouse!
I ha...Ahhhh...House Mouse! Gotta love House Mouse!<br />I have a 4lb brown Chihuahua named Snickers. I always tell people that she is as sweet as her name! The happiest, Kissyest (is that can be a word) little ball of brown sugar!<br />This little guy reminds me so much of my baby! So cute and adorable. <br />I am always a huge fan of your work Maria!<br />Valerie<br />BTW, I am always in awe of your coloring and try to replicate the results. I am thinking that maybe the paper or the ink is where I fall short (obviously talent is the big one) but What WC paper do you use? I have tried tons. Canson, Strathmore (200,300 and 400 series) Tim Holtz, Dick Blick...hot press, cold press. My markers just do not blend smoothly like yours. <br />Also, what kind of permanent ink do you stamp your image with? I use Staz On I reink it often but it still is a "faded" impression. I have started using a stamp-a-ma-jig EVERY time I stamp on WC paper b/c I just know that I will need to repeat at least 3 time to get a "good" impression.
