2 Copic Cards

2 Copic cardsSince I was asked to make two cards for co-workers, I took the oportunity to play, er, use my new Copic markers. ;)

I didn't just use them to colour in the stamped images; I also coloured some embellishments to ensure they matched! On the "For You" card, I used B97 in the flower, so I also chose it to color the tag, string and jewel. On the "Happy Birthday" card, instead of hunting down some matching cardstock to mat the stamped image, I simply punched white cardstock and then coloured the layers with E11 and E57, (which I used on the hedgehog).

Now I no longer have to sweat that I may not have the perfect colour ribbon, brad or other embellishment; because they are alcohol inks, my Copic markers will colour them all!

Copic Cats

I found these new stamps at Michael's the other day, and being a cat-lover, had to practice with a few shades and colours with my new Copics. I recorded the colours I used and keep these little sample images in a small artist's portfolio so I can refer to them later:
