Take the negative.
It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! If you don’t like how something looks in color go to black and white.

A little dab will do you.
It’s Technique Tuesday! Today’s technique is more of a tip. When gluing on little bits you may want to bring the glue to it and not the other way around.

When black ink isn’t enough.
It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Did you know that sometimes even our black ink isn’t black enough?
