September's 100 Cartridge Blog Hop ~ Part 2

This is the 2nd part of the 100 Cartridge Blog Hop. Check out Part 1 here.

For these cards I used a black CRI-Kits gel pen for the images on my cards. If you have never used CRI-Kits, check out their website to learn how. Instead of using your blade, you use gel pens to draw the image on the paper. At first I was scared to buy gel pens because I always ended up with some that wouldn't write, but I love these. They work really well and I didn't have any problems with them.

I created these cards for Project Sunshine and Smiles and hopefully the kids understand that they can color the card. I wanted to do something different and I remember getting a Valentine's card a long time ago that was black and white and I had so much fun coloring it.
