I bought 4 COPICS!

I realize that buying any Copic markers is a slippery slope (LOL) but I really love the way people shadow their images with them.  I bought 4 of the lighter ones that were "bundled" as shadowing ones.  This card was inspired by Julia Aston.  I colored with Close-to-My-Heart inks and a water brush, then after it was dry, used the copic to shadow.  The images are from Lovely Shelf by Nina Brackett.  I also used a touch of liquid glass on the middle vase.

Hope you are having a good week!

Namaste.

First, drop-dead GORGEOUS card. You outdid yourself with the water brush, and the shading is perfect.

Next, I love flowers and pots and vases. Is that a stamp or stamps? I NEED to know. LOL.

I have a Copic "wish list." Nice and neat, sorted by color families. It's long. I need to win the lottery. Were I to get a second job, I'd have no time to color. LOL. One of these days ...

Have a great Thursday, Sharli!

I didn't know they sold Copics in a shadowing set. That's cool! Your card is gorgeous! Gorgeous, I tell you!

No Copics in the budget for me, but I sure enjoy seeing others, like you, use them well.

Uh, oh, you're in BIG trouble now! Once you start using Copic markers, you want 'em all. Admit it; you already do want more, dontcha?!? LOL, they are a wonderful, albeit expensive, tool.

Now, the card is fab-YOU-lous, Sharli! The shading is beautiful ... so neat and perfect! Love how you drew that border around the perimeter of the card ... and those flowers look fab!!

I LOVE this card, Sharli!

I only own 5 copics.. 1 skin colored , 1 shadowed, 1 dark brown, 1 other brownish one, and a blender pen. It's an evil slippery slope. Too dang many colors to choose from. HOWEVER, I DO LOVE my grey shadow marker. I use it even when I use only stamps and ink or stamps and colored pencils. no colored pencils make shadows as nicely. :)


Inky SMILES!

Absolutely adorable card. The Copics are a slippery slope. One day 4, the next day 104. Watch out!

Fun stuff, and beautiful job with your coloring and shading. Nice touch with the Liquid Glass too. ;) Copics aren't even on my Wish List (not wanting to slide down that slope...not that it wouldn't be fun -they're just not in the budget so don't even want to get started). Pretty card.
