I am on a roll this week... I never make 4 cards in one week. Thanks to Dolly the insomniac dog, I have had a lot of extra crafting hours at 3 a.m every night this week. Extra crafting time...YEAH! The down side is that I look like the bride of Frankenstein from lack of sleep. There are a few things that stem from making cards when normal people are asleep and only the vampires are awake. First, I am limited to whatever supplies are on the dining room table - rumaging through the coat closet where I keep my craft stuff would wake my family up. My copics in this week's CC526 were out, so that is what I used. I also "design as I go, or as the errors force me to go" since inteligent thought processes aren' t always working at that hour. I was coloring in the image when the reds bled everywhere. With no blending pen in sight to remove the bleeding, I decided to forget about the lines and used lighter copics to carry the colors into the white space. At that point thinhs were not looking too good, so I looked in the kitchen for some ideas. There was a trial size bottle of hand sanitizer on the counter, so I squeezed a few blobs onto the card, took a bathroom break, and then wiped them off. I used the pointed tip of the copics to add outline dots around the areas where the hand sanatized had removed the copids. My little crafting partner, Dolly, liked the results. TFL, Francie
