I'd been holding off coloring the cover of my Swatch Book but today seemed to be the day. I pulled up Marianne's post about coloring her's to use for guidance. I decided I wanted to do my own colors & I must say I'm pretty happy with it.
Colors used: text - B16; leaves & vines - G21, G24, YG63, YG67, YG03; flowers - V06, RV17, RV34; marker - C1, C3, C5, C7, BV23, BV31; shadow - B000
One more change to my swatch book. I've found that when I'm in the store looking to see which colors I have I'm usually flipping back and forth to find the page I want. Now I've got a color code on the side of each page so I can go immediately to the color family I'm interested in.
Tip: I've also made some notes on the pages to help me with a few things. I need to know which colors are included in the papercrafting sets so I've added PCA or PCB next to each color to signify Paper Crafting A or Paper Crafting B. I've also noted VI next to the colors I've got a Various Ink refill for. That'll help me know which ones I still need to buy. Tons of information right at my fingertips!
I've got some cash burning a hole in my pocket that I want to put towards more new pens. I can't wait to pull my new & improved swatch book out to help me make my choices!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh this is soooooooooo cool!!!!!! I loveeeeeeeeeeee it my friend! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
