Today, I’m here to remind you—coloring for YOU is about rediscovering those simple joys you might have forgotten. Let’s forget the rules, embrace the process, and bring that carefree creativity back. You don’t need to be an artist to color for joy. You just need to enjoy the moment, one color at a time.
I have a video walking through how I colored up my image from the Flowering Friendship stamp set from Gina K Designs with Olo Markers.

Thanks for addressing a concern that I am sure many share and it keeps them from feeling like they are good at coloring. My biggest hangup is that even when the ink is alcohol-friendly, sometimes I still get smears. I think I need to keep all my white papers separated. I probably am using Hammermill for Copics, which would be a no no.
Your cards came out beautifully.

I use hammermill a lot for coloring. You may need to just dry the ink.
