Help with Colouring?

Morning all

I hope you all are having a nice weekend.

Well, as you have seen on my blog, I don't do coloured images, ever, but I am thinking that this is something that I need to get into.

Now, I have got a Whispers caddy thing with marks and two of the blending pen things for it, but I have absolutely no idea what to do to make the pictures look as good as all the ones everyone else do - ie. shading etc.

I have googled, you tubed, you name it, I have looked for a tutorial. Therefore, if anyone out there in blog land wants to share any helpful hints, I would be so grateful.

• 4 CDs
• ribbon
• Various Cricut Card
• wire

Cor blimey, what a list and I am sure I have missed half of it off!!

I really loved working with these downloads, if you haven't been over there before, please, go and give it a go, you won't be disappointed!

Thanks to the ladies at Crafty Muse for giving me the opportunity to be a GDT!
