TIP: Changing Skin Tones On Imagine Best Friends Cartridge

Did you know you can change the skin tones on the imagine best friends cartridge.
The Image Picture on the Right is the orginal Image from the best friends Cartridge.
The Image On The Left Has been altered using the edit feature.
What you need to do is edit the full body image and chose the skin color you want from the color wheel.
This will give you a solid color (in this case a peach flesh tone.) After Printing and Cutting you can get face stamps from peachykeen.com and stamp the face of your choice on that image.
This can be done with any skin color you chose.

                                Left Image is Altered skin tone.
                                Right Image is Original from the cartridge
