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!!

OMG! Karen - this is out of this world....I think that's the only stamp set I don't own - yet!!
I sent 20 gel pens back to SU at one point - they replaced them but all had the same problem...I will absolutely try the "trick" - you are awesome - see you at convention!!

Have to say I'd given up on all white pens except the Sakura Glaze, but then I tried the Inkssentials one that Faith recommends, and it's worked every time I go to it.
That soft bouquet of flowers is just so pretty.
