This is for my wonderful DD sis Cheryl's DTGD challenge.
Depending on the image you are colouring, sometimes photocopy paper looks even better that cardstock.
To get a slightly textured feel, I sat the photocopy paper print on top of a 'rough-tooth" paper pad. I have found with the Prismacolour Pencils, I get different effects depending what I am resting the paper on.
To get a very smooth finish, I just sit the printed image on top of 4 or 5 sheets of copy paper. One on the other great things about printing images on copy paper is the ease of fussy cutting.
LOL I just noticed that I didn't finish fussy cutting. The easy fix for this is to colour the white paper in the same colour as the background.
I recently purchased a product called Zest It. It's used for blending coloured pencils. It works like Gamsol, but it is "desk friendly". It comes in a plastic pot, filled with a sponge that is impregnated with a lemon scented blending solution. It's made in the UK.

So cute Susie. Love all the whispering that is going on between the little ballerinas. Can just see them all lined up waiting to go on stage and trying to keep quiet. That is one stamp I will just have to have.

What an adorable card. It reminds me of the days when my DDs were young ballet dancers. Their favorite day was when the costume for their new performance was delivered and they got to try them on. So much fun. What wonderful memories!
