Q: maslex asks: "I remember seeing a video a while back where she used a black marker to make the animal's eye really pop. Do you know what I'm talking about?"

A: I have used a black glaze pen by Sakura to color in eyes. The ink is a deep black and it dries with a little shine - that will really liven up an image! I also like to add a little dot or two of white paint or gesso to eyes to make them look dimensional and reflective. I usually apply the paint with a pencil point, pin, or tiny stylus.

EC shared a tip on the Four Leaf Clover Card tutorial for treating ribbon ends: "There's a handy liquid available in the fabric department of most stores called Fray Check. A drop on the ribbon end does the job and it is durable. I used it on my daughter's hair ribbons and dress trims. It launders well, too, though I don't think any of us will be laundering our cards!

No special supplies are needed for next week's tutorial.
