<\/a>October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and one of my crafty friends, Beth (YT: Bethsscrapbookroom) is hosting a challenge asking folks to make cards or tags or something for folks battling breast cancer. I had this adorable digital stamp called, “Help is Coming” from Olga Ishenko, the designer of Little Blue Button Stamps, and knew this was the perfect opportunity to use it.<\/p>\n

<\/a>My big dilemma was how was I going to make a handful of cards since I am such a slow Copic colorer? \u00a0Then I learned from another crafty friend, Candace (YT: Candace Scarborough) that after coloring an image, one could scan it into a computer and then print out as many colored copies as needed. Brilliant! \u00a0So I took my time and colored in one image very carefully using the following Copic colors (yes, there are a ton of colors in this one): Dragon: YG 61, 63, and 67; Teddy bear: E70, 74, R30, and RV13; Dress: YR00, 02, 07 and E07; Skin: E50, 51 and 53 and R30; Wagon and pennant: YR 07 and E07; Hair: E55, 57 and 59; Shoes E59; Teddy Bear’s bandage: R30 and RV13; Crown and flowers on dress: YR31 and YR24; and Shadow under girl and wagon: N0 aand N2.<\/p>\n

After scanning it in, I was also able to clean up some of the areas where I colored outside the lines using a free program called paint.net, before printing out multiple copies to fussy cut out and add to cards! What would have taken me a week to create, I was able to create in 1 1\/2 days! YAY!<\/p>\n

The following is a video share of the cards:<\/p>\n
