I wanted to road test distress ink, pencils and Peerless paints and have to say, they all look very similar, especially their hair.
The tag on the left was painted with Peerless paints, the middle tag was coloured with Prismacolour pencils (and a small swish of turquoise Inktense watercolour pencil). The pink girl was done with distress ink.
The trick to make colouring look good is to give the image a second stamping AFTER you have finished colouring it. I leave the rubber stamp in place in the MISTI after the initial stamping. Remove the tag, colour it, stencil, etc then put it back in the MISTI for a final stamping.
This is a good habit to get into, especially if you use alcohol markers. You can do the initial stamping in Memento, then the final stamping in any brand to give it more oompf.
Thank you for looking.

This is a fab road test. I love them all but the mixture of colors on her shirt in the middle is my fav. These tags are so positive, affirming, and inspirational (in many different ways). Thanks for sharing. Many hugz

I could not agree more on your statement to put the image back on again once you have colored it. It really adds a great crisp image once colored to bring out the image better. Very nicely done and thank you for showing the trio of tags for us to see the different coloring.

Beautiful tags, all. I love how you did the comparison with the different coloring mediums. The stamp is gorgeous, love her hair. I just got the full set of intense watercolors and I am just playing with them so far. Got the Misti for Christmas, and haven't really gave it a fair chance need to use it more and that is a great tip to restamp when you are finished coloring. Thanks too for the comment on my CAS card, appreciate you taking the time.
