It's actually more of a challenge for me NOT to doodle with the white gel pen, I think it's my crutch. On THIS card, don't think I doodled on the main image- the doodling is in the background on the tone on tone flowers- the white main image is emboss resist..... Anyway- it's so fun! PET PEEVE, - I have 2000 white gel pens in my house and only 14 of them actually write..........arghhhh.............THIS JUST IN....VICKY GOULD TOLD ME THAT AT MARKIES MOM'S STAMP CAMP SHE LEARNED THAT YOU CAN TRY RUNNING THEM OVER YOUR HAND AND THE OIL FROM YOUR SKIN WILL MAKE THEM WORK AGAIN AND IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM....I AM "AWAY" FROM MY GEL PENS AT THE MOMENT BUT WILL TRY THIS ASAP!! YIPPEE!!
Hope you like my card!!

This is gorgeous, Karen! (Try rubbing your pen over the back of your hand - it picks up the oils - learned that trick at Markie's Mom's stamp camp - works like a charm!)

This is gorgeous! I love the flowers coming out of the envelope! I'm going to have to try that pen on your hand trick-- my white pens write when THEY want to!
