MDS2 is sooo cool!

MDS2 has some incredible new features like the ability to color in line-art stamps as I've done to the graduation card below.  You can add color in layers and easily reorder the layers to achieve the look of shading.  This also makes it easier to fix any mistakes.


You can also apply more than one color to a stamp, or only color parts of the stamp as I've done with the "Happy Graduation" stamp below.  It's a little hard to see, but I used a darker red on the lower half of the word Graduation.

In this piece I colored the line-art stamp, painted and shaded the flowers, and cropped the stamp!
Just playing...
