      Hi Margaret-

      Sure, I’ll be happy to help you out. What is the last thing that worked as it should, and what step is tripping you up? Is it Step 6? I wasn’t exactly sure where you were, when you mentioned “the first instruction to blend the color…”

      Once we figure out what, specifically, is causing the problem, I’ll walk you through a step-by-step of the problem issue. Hang in there…we’ll get it! :)

    I can not seem to make my edges appear with rips and tears. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong.
    I seem to make out okay up until #8.
    Thanks Eileen
