An alcohol-based marker tends to bleed a bit so leave a tiny bit of white space before the line. You can always go back and fill it in but you can’t doContinue reading “Blends go just before the line.”

Black on black.
I know most of us think in color. But what about the same color? What about black on black? Try adding texture instead of tons of color or accents.

Pieces and parts.

Take the pieces and parts of everything. A leaf punch becomes a flower’s stem after snipping the leaves off. AContinue reading “Pieces and parts.”
Correction for brusho sealing technique.
I was wrong. You heard me. I was wrong. Now you know I’m not perfect (if you didn’t already know many times over). Last week’s tutorial for the new brusho product was not completely accurate. As I continue to experiment with this product I have found that hairspray is not the best sealer. It isContinue reading “Correction for brusho sealing technique.”
