Ali.b - I use ivory and blush to colour my skin. First I colour the area with ivory, then I highlight areas with the blush (the darker colour), then I colour the whole area again with ivory to give a shaded effect (sort of).

what are ''choochies''???
sounds cute! Is it chocs or hugs or ???

Furry For my OH choochies are :- 'there,there, (mops brow) you sit down,(plumps cushions) make yourself comfy and please help yourself to (through gritted teeth) one of my choccies that I hid from you' When he's not well OH loves a lot of fuss although I have to say that he's a absolute diamond when the asthma hits me, thankfully not for some 9 months now.

Oap & Rainmac Thank you! your beautiful cards arrived safely today -

Thank you rainmac for the images to colour - I only hope I can do them justice!

I've got a small collection of ciao markers which seem to work OK but I'm wondering if I've made the wrong choice and should have had promarkers instead. Has anyone experience of both & can tell me the difference? Can they be used together??

The wife - Thank you for your lovely water lily in it's box & images to colour. The water lily is so amazingly delicate - I'll post a picture later for everyone to see. I've posted mine for you today - don't build your hopes up though!

Marg i cant help with Ciao markers. But if it helps i use promarkers with Whispers pens. and im naughty and use Stayzon ink too and havent had any problem with bleeding or leaking through
