Emily Midgett here with you today, and I have a fun shaker tag created using some of the brand new Scalloped Circle Infinity Dies, the new Floral Journaling Bundle, and my favorite ink for no-line coloring with colored pencils: Unicorn White. Let's get started with the details!  When working with colored pencils on colored cardstock, I prefer to use Unicorn White pigment ink.
