Yesterday I wanted to color in a design on a potential getwell card, including some very narrow straight and some weavey lines. Since I often can't control my fingers or hands enough for this work I asked a friend. She came up with a terrific idea, I have no idea why I didn't think of it, so am sharing: Just get out one of those journaling block plastic templates and use it as a protective sheet - run your color pen/marker or dust your chalk thru the cuts! Some of the sheets can be washed, some need a stamp cleaner to make them clear again. Or, surround the area with post-it-note type stickies in case you draw outside of the design's lines. Or, stamp the design on a scrap of paper and cut out the part you want to color, place this on top of your card's design and just color away!
