Copics 201

Today I have a tutorial post over at the Flourishes Blog on four ways outside of the straightforward, that you can use your Copic Markers.  So I'd love to show you the created projects here, but then direct you to the Flourishes Blog  to find out how I did each technique. 

The Colorless Blender Pen

I had a lot of fun creating this cute and fashionable purse ...especially combined with these pretty papers and ribbons. 

Here is a closeup, I colored my pink half pearls with my Copic Markers to get a perfect match

Copic Pointillism

One of my favourite techniques that I learned in HS translates really well to Copic markers, and works really well with this type of open image too.

And a little closeup...I gathered the silk ribbon with some hand stitching and then pulled it to pucker it.  Yum!

Dirty Rag Technique

I just love the bright colors in this yummy Basic Grey Sultry paper, and I thought it really fit a kind of funky theme. 

Here it is with a little close-up!   The ribbon is May Arts Ruffled Sueded ribbon

Adding Pattern with Stamps

I think this was probably my favourite of the techniques I used, I love how you can get the look of crushed/patterned velvet with it.  And I really love the rich colors and patterns and textures with the card too. 

I used the outside edge of the Top Note die to create some of the edges on the layers, that way it sort of had the feel of the chair too. 

Here is a bit closer so you can really see the pattern in the "velvet chair".  Isn't it cool? 

I really hope you can try some of these techniques out!   Have fun and  let me know how it goes!
