You are making me LOVE this set. Could you please let me know how you shaded/colored the cat the way you did on your cards. It looks so soft! I would LOVE to know!

The Shading on this cat and the others like it was done by
1)Stamping the image in the lightest tone you will use.
2) marker over the edges with the next darkest tone. Making sure to make your strokes wide. This doesn't seem to harm my markers to go right over the ink.
3) Go around the edges with the final darkest color in a thinner line.
4)Detail with your marker additional color.... like the blue eyes on this cat. they were saved for last.
5) Huff on your stamp to re-moisten the image.
6) stamp!
