Bugaboo Stamps: JJ Tequila & Shoes | Birthday

It finally happened to me. . .:( I've always heard people complain about their printer ink running when coloring digi images with Copic markers, but since that'd never happened to me, I was kinda like "How 'bout that," and then moved on. Weeeeeell. . .Heat-setting my digi images is just NOT doing it for me! We purchased a new printer, and no matter how long I hold the image under my embossing gun, it still bleeds. . .:( What to do? What to do? I did some research and found some good information here and here.

So, I decided to purchase some matte fixative to spray on my digi images before I color them. I'll let you know how that works in another post. In the meantime, ignore the smudges around JJ's nose. . .;)
