I rarely stamp on a large open space, and I thought I'd give it a try today. I stamped the image on whisper white with stazon. The first attempt I tried to color with my prismacolor pencils and oms. However, I am finding that the more black on the image the more the image smears even after I let it dry. Don't know if it is something I am doing wrong or what? Any suggestions or tips ladies? Any way, I stamped it again and just colored with the pencils, blending in colors.

I have found too that stazon smears. I have been leaving mine dry overnight. I have been using Palettes Hybrid Ink too. I try really hard to not touch the black ink if I can. It is hard. Also try using Georgia Pacific cs from Walmart. It is cheap and aborbs the ink so much better than WW. Hope this helps. It is just a few things I found that help me. This is terrific. Love the color combo you chose. Great job.

Very pretty! Your flowers look great and I have trouble with the black at times also. I ususally try and let mine dry for a minimum of an hour, sometimes thats not possible. But that helps me. Great case. Thank you for taking the time to case one of my cards!

This is such a pretty card, love the flowers and the colors. When I use Prisma pencils and OMS I always use Memories ink no waiting for it to dry and no smearing!
