Colouring With Copic Markers.

19 Apr, 2010 cardmaking

My favourite way of colouring in a rubber stamped image is to use Copic Marker Pens. I love the way these alcohol based pens blend together to give your work a sense of depth.

Colouring With Copic Marker Pens The weather here has had a real Spring like feel over the last week and to me this card also has a real feel of Spring about it.

The card blank is one which has been pre printed in a pale green with butterflies. (You can easily create this effect by background stamping).

The centre image is from Sugar Nellie, coloured in with my Copic Markers.

I cut round the image using a scallop edged Nestability and chalked the scallop edges with a pale orange to compliment the colour I had used on the girl’s tunic.

Finishing touch was a “Happy Birthday” peel off sentiment.

Quick Tip: Always try to “ground” your rubber stamped images, rather than having them float in mid air.

Copic Markers come in a huge range of shades but you don’t need them all at once – build up your collection over time.
