I got this in the bargain bin at Hobby Lobby a few days ago. I have colored pencils but no purple. I have some brush pens but they cover up too much. Can ya'll give me some suggestions on what to buy to color with?
Have you considered coloring with a different color (using the pencils you already have?). If you have crayons, those can work as well. I like to use the Crayola Twistables.
You can also get some craft chalk. It's a really cute stamp, so have fun!
What about water colors? You can get a tray of those for a small price and it comes with a brush. You can shade with them also. It might be nice to shade with pens/markers but water color the base first tho.
You could also try the watercolor pencils - they go on like a coloring pencil but you use a slightly damp brush to "watercolor" them on and they turn out gorgeous!!! Twinkling H2O's are nice too!!!
My two favourites are Distress ink refills - used as watercolors, or just water color pencils and add water. Workes best on aquarell paper (or watercolor paper, I'm nor sure what you call it in English.) How fun to have a idea-sharing blog! ;)

I wanted to share my blog "creation story." I was great at creating and stashing cards away, but my friends made fun of my hoarding. I never sent the cards! I was afraid that I could never recreate the hard-earned ideas. I began photographing cards and eventually created this blog, which allows all of us to have a record of what we have created. The title of the blog applies to me and probably no one else who posts on here...but as much as I've tried to come up with a new title, this one stuck. I'm so grateful to all of you for contributing and following this blog!!

That is one gorgeous stamp.
