Recently I was instructing some frineds on Copic markers. I am adamant that new card makers not go out and spend a lot of money until they know exactly what peaks their interest. The two ladies had purchased Copics and begun to play with them so I told them I would gladly show them some techniques. This image was to illustrate that you can get by with just one marker. Did that slow them down with their buying frenzy? No. They loved coloring with Copics even more and I doubt they ever used just one Copic, but it can be done and I think it looks good.
This SU! image was stamped twice using Memento ink on Neenah paper and colored with six individual Copic markers. I also colored parts of the lanterns and the ribbon with a silver Gellyroll pen. After trimming the image I attached it to green card stock and stamped the sentiment.
Stamps - SU! "Today & Everyday," sentiment name unknown
Copics - R22, YR14, Y32, YG13, B91, V04 and Memento Ink
Paper - Neenah, SU! Green Galore, PTI White card stock

ReplyDeleteI need lessons from you also. Although I can guarantee that I will be like your friends, and want to buy more colors than you say I 'need'.
