Can't we all just get along?

I've been collecting digi stamps as of late and I decided to use one on a Mother's Day card. When I started colouring the image I found out that my printer ink and my Copic markers did not get along. We're talking mortal enemies here. It was terrible! It went a little something like this:

Ink: Hey, hey, HEY!! Yeah, you. Ugly yellow marker. You're ruining me. I'm running all over the place because of you.

Copic: (Well, Y13 must have been in quite a mood 'cause it's response was too nasty for polite company.)

Ink: *gasp*

Me: Now, now, everyone. Let's just calm down.

Ink: But, but, but.....

Me: Ink, I'm sorry but Copic is an alcohol-based marker. And, well, alcohol tends to make things, um, sloppy.

Copic: nah, nah, na, nah, nah

Ink: I'll show you!

At this point Ink retaliated by inking the end of Y13 black. This caused the marker to squeal and jerk in panic trying to dislodge the black spot off the end of it's tip. I ignored them both and finished the image.

So now I have to be very careful how I colour my images lest another fight breaks out. *sigh*

Okay, so ever since I started my blog (well, maybe not right from the get-go, it was probably a good six months or so before I realized you could change it from just "Leave your comment") I've tried to come up with something witty to type here.

*sitting with brow furrowed in concentration*...*staring at the ceiling while pursing lips*...*resting with head on hand while tapping foot*...

Nope, I still got nothing.
