What day is it??? OH YES - Friday. 

Not that it matters hahah.

But today matters because I have a fun new video for you on a crazy quick and easy coloring method for delicate die cuts - I call it Skipped Coloring. 

I am using this gorgeous layering die and Karin markers - I have a 15% off coupon for these in the very bottom of this post if you are interested.

This is such a great, easy technique if you don't feel like doing detailed coloring. I used this lovely layering die and Karin markers, and then this stamp set for the sentiment

  11. This looks like a fun, easy coloring technique - I’ll have to try it! Ben and Jerry’s has some amazing non-dairy ice cream flavors. My favorites are the new “Milk” and Cookies and Mint Chocolate Cookies - they’re creamy and delicious and don’t taste non-dairy to me.😁
