Chatapalooza Chat (April 28) and Challenge with A Grieving Mommy

[Mary Jo]

I am just sliding in under the wire! I started with a different coloring book page but I am having a problem with it - How do you color when the image on the reverse side of the scan leaked through? I am trying to color a "Small World" image but it is going to take me a week doing it by hand with the paint brush, so I switched gears. I searched the internet for coloring book pages, found Cindy, and then I had no problems. Thank you for a very informative chat, a super fun challenge, and an amazing PP! I plan to have a lot of fun with this technique, I love how this first one came out!

I've had trouble with scanning coloring books in the past, but I've discovered that if you put a piece of black paper behind the page you're trying to scan, you don't get bleed through from the page on the back. I've used this trick several times with great success. And I love your Cinderella page. The Cinderella image is perfect!
