I'm trying to colour in the faces of the cute companions mice stamps, and I can't get them the right colour. Can you tell me what you use please? I
don't mind if I have to buy more, any excuse.

Thanks Libby, Iv'e looked on there, what I really wanted to know, was what the exact colour people are using, as I can't get the right browny colour
with any I've got.

Barbara what are you using to colour in with? If it's chalks or watercolour pencils then you can start light and gradually darken to get the shade you
want. Another tip is to go around the edge of the face with marvy pens, water colour pencils etc and then draw it out with a water brush just damp so that you
don't have a solid colour. It's much more subtle and more natural. This style can be used on any part of the stamp you want to colour in. HTH

Hi Lynn, I found some watercolor pencils, I'd had for a long time never used them before, and one of the colours was perfect. I started round the edges
and worked the colour in. I just didn't want my mice to look like they'd been to the Bahamas and got a sun tan. Barbara xx
