That miniature snowman is adorable! I love snowman! I have a question for you…when you are watercoloring with Tombow’s – you use watercolor paper and what type of ink? Do you use Stazon? How do you use different colors without running them?

You are so generous with your blog candy. I love that little snowman… I’m sure I could give him a nice home! Thanks for the chance to win him.

Hmm, a question… You use tombow markers, I have stampin’ up markers, but I never have luck with marker to paper. It seems that they should be able to be used that way. I have used them very successfully directly on my stamp and then huffing or misting. I just don’t understand why I can’t seem to blend color or work the color on paper. Any thoughts? Oh, and thanks for the opportunity at such wonderful blog candy.

I have subscribed to you on my Google REader. What great blog candy. I have never used chalks before. Is that just another name for oil pastels? And how do you set them so they don’t smear?

I use Tombow markers at times they leave very distinct lines when using instead of blending? AM i doing something wrong, are some colours more blendable than others.
DO you ever use regular markers in your art, using coloured pencils to add shading? ANd if so what are your favorite markers?

PS Have you been nice to pigeons?

What a lovely wonderful blog candy. It’s so nice to do such a thing. I would like to get some embossing tips if you have them. It never works out the way I want to. Hugs Marja

Fabulous blog candy Beth!! Would love to see some tutorials on shaped cards or cards with different folds….or bind it all projects….or covered composition or journal books….Hugs, Ila

I went and looked at everyone of your blog entries over the past year—there are tons of ideas. I will keep busy trying the different ideas.

I am always up for learning more about coloring images. I still color like a kindergartner and when I do try to do some shading or something creative it ends up a mess, so I go back to the easy way out! I am looking forward to your coloring tricks and tips!

Your tips were great yesterday!! More Blog Candy!! You rock girl! 🙂

So I had asked previously how you get your images to look like that little extra has been done to them…..so now I would like to know do you prefer markers or pencil crayons? I have pencil crayons and can’t decide if I should get some copics. My LSS is waiting for their back order of copic (apparently they the scrapworld has depleted them!! lol…what did they think would happen??)anyhow….so do you use markers or pencils more??

oh sorry…here is my blog…I’ll leave a link over there!

I just found your blog and I think I will continue to visit it often. I can’t seem to get the effect I want when I emboss. I could use some pointers. And I agree with Ila who suggested a tutorial on shaped cards. I think that would be very helpfull.

Love your blog ! My question is how can I make the inside of my cards as special as the outside?

I just discovered your blog today and I am in love with it………Your tutorials are great and you are such a sweet lady.

I have Impress markers do ever use them if you do I would like to see a tutorial on it. Or even a tutorial with Perfect Pearls.

I’ll be subscribing to your blog to enjoy more of your work.

Much hugs

here is my blog entry http://doris86place.blogspot.com/2008/07/blog-candy-at-sunflowers-and.html about your candy!

Do you have any tips according to design of card? any main rules or something, that make card well planed?

I too love your art. My question is I’ve seen using prisma colored pencil and blending them with gamsol. I’d love to learn how to do this. I love your blog.

Hi — I haven’t been to your blog for a few weeks but now have it on my favorites list. Your tutorials look wonderful and I will have to go back and really study them. Also enjoyed your comments on how you manage to make a card a day — the comment about hoarding definitely hit home — I will have to refer back to that one! Couple of questions/tutorial ideas: Chalks — when instructions say to use chalks to colour your image, are they meaning chalk pencils or the chalk squares or pastels — and how to colour with them? I also enjoy seeing different ways to use the same stamp.

Hi, I just found your blog today. I would like tips about designing cards. I enjoyed reading your how to make a card a day thread.

My question is…
How long does it take you to make your tutorials and get them loaded onto your blog?
Not that I have anything original to share as a tutorial, but I’m WAY too lazy to do all that work….lol
Btw….LOVE the new blog! The colors are terrific!!

I also just posted a link on my blog 🙂

I love your blog and loved the tips you gave about making a card per day!!!
Very clever!!!!!!
I also Loved the blog candy you are offering!! Very generous!!!!!

I love any tutorials, I love seeing how others make their cards…specially unusual hapes or folds…..
Since we can’t a lot of materials here, I get confused some times about perfect pearls……Glimmer mist…..and other kinds of paints….something explaining differences betweens these pigments would be great too!

hugs and best wishes
Marcia

Your tutorials are amazing… Have only subcribed to your news letter for a short time. I am trying to use nestabilities. Having some trouble. Wondering if you can do a tutorial on this particular cutting system.

Love to see a tutorial on nestabilities. i having trouble using them with my cuddlebug.
I do not know if you have done a tutorial on this particular sysem..THank kkyou

It will be exciting to see what will be seen on your blog in the coming days and weeks. Thanks for the chance to win.

Hi Beth, I know I’ve commented already, but I thought of a tutorial I’d really like to see–hopefully someone hasn’t already mentioned it! I saw you using the color wheel at oneo fthe crops we were at. I thought that it was such a great idea & would help me with coloring. So I went out and bought one, thinking there would be specific instructions inside, but they were unclear to me. Can you do a tutorial specifically on how to use the color wheel and how it can be used to help you make color choices? I’d love to see it!

I just stumbled on your web blog. This is going on my blog roll! I know I will be visiting daily. I hope to be able to start blogging daily and sharing my creations. I love your your tutorials and would love to see more on shading with markers!
Keep up the great work
Thanks

Where do you get your ideas for your wonderful cards?

Thanks

Going to have to subscribe to your blog. Great blog candy, but even better…you have some great tutorials. I could use some pointers on using Odorless Mineral Spirits with my Koh-I-Noor Woodless Colored Pencil. I am a newbie at stamping and coloring.

What an awesome tutorial…your coloring is amazing!! Thanks for sharing!! ‘Just wondering where you purchased your color wheel? Also, I’d love to see a tutorial on how to use alcohol inks. Thanks for this chance to win sweet candy!

I love your tutorials—have learned a lot from them. Thanks!

What is the best glue to use in cardmaking?

As a beginning stamper I’m enjoying the opportunity to “soak up” all that you are offering!
Thanks for all the information!

When I emboss, I usually have tiny specks of embossing powder on my cardstock. I have tried an embossing buddy, a tiny paint brush, and a dryer sheet. Still there are specks in places. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for the advice!
