I&#8217;m going to keep todays post as short and sweet as possible, I&#8217;m not feeling too well today so I am posting then back to bed!

<p>I love the bright colors I get when I use markers on white cardstock but then I am left with a white background, see how to &#8220;Faux Mask&#8221; and colored the background with chalk in this video {My hand is not even in the way!}</p>
