Coloring Doodles and Digital Stamps for Your Digital Scrapbooking Layouts

Digital doodles are very popular right now, and this tutorial is going to show you another way of using them by coloring them in.
One way of coloring in the digital scrapbooking doodles is by taking your Paint Bucket and filling in the spots you want colored. While this is one way of doing it, you will often find that once you filled that doodle with color, you still have spots that the color will not automatically fill.
To resolve that problem, here’s another way to color the doodle in. First, create a new layer by going to Layer> New> Layer.
Now choose your Brush Tool and your desired color and paint in the spots you want colored. Do not worry about covering the black portions.
Once you have your colors all painted on, you are going to move your original bottom layer to the top. To do this, click on your layer that has the black outline of the doodle. Hold down the mouse key and drag that layer on top of the color layer.
After you have moved your layers is the perfect time to check for any stray color that might be outside of your outline. If you see any, you can fix it by choosing your Eraser Brush, making the color layer active, and erasing whatever color is outside the black outline.
Once you have cleaned up your work, you may merge the layers by choosing Layers> Merge Visible. You now have a colored-in doodle!
