I uploaded this card last week, but wasn't happy with it... I had gotten this gerbera stamp after falling in love seeing it in the gallery on so many cards. For Mother's Day, I got Prismacolor pencils, and although they color beautifully, I still wasn't happy. I wanted to try that Gamsol method, thanks, Roxie(Rox71), for your constant inspiration to me...it's because of your beautiful cards, I had to try coloring again after 15 years of not coloring....but it took me until yesterday to get
my Taiwaneze stump and baby oil...what great fun I had!!...and I personally love how it turned out...thanks for looking, have a great night!!

I absolutely love this and the red is delightful on your daisies. I'm so glad you colored after years of not doing so---the results were well worth your effort.

Wow those daisies are beautifully colored and just pop off the card! I can't imagine being that talented with coloring and not doing it. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful card.

This is quite stunning. You said you used baby oil. Is that better than mineral spirits? I am just learning color also. I bought prisma pencils also. I have been using mineral spirits like they showed on "Stamp TV"

STUNNING, Lisa!!! I only recently tried the gamsol technique myself and was totally amazed by the results. Your results are just fantastic!! And, of course, you ROCKED this in RED (and black and white) . Better stock up on extra red Prismacolors!!! I think you're going to be hooked . . .
