This book provides great, detailed instructions for a variety of card-coloring techniques. The detail from the specific materials needed for each technique as well as the careful step-by-step instructions make this a "must-have" for your card-making library. I loved the card examples and the use of glitter--colorful and engaging. I refer to this book again and again, not just for technique, but for inspiration as well!

I like to make Home Made Greeting Cards and like to use digital prints that I color myself. I thought this book would give lots of information on coloring and blending colors but it doesn't give much info on HOW to blend. Would not have ordered if I had known this.
