Copics!!!!
Today I took a Copic "Boot Camp" class. I have always been a huge fan of everyone's cards that I have seen colored with these, but never seemed to get the same results. So when I saw that there was this Copic class offered about an hour from me, I jumped at the chance to take it! It was great ... and I learned sooo much. I fell in love with these markers even more!!!
Happy Birthday!
I colored the girl and bird from the TAC set Everything is Blooming with my new Copics (you can see most ofthe shading and blending in her dress). I cut the image out with my nestabilities. To get that white border, I kept the image in the rectangle nestability die and then sponged blue ink all around the edges. I then cut out a green scalloped rectangle to mat it on. Stamped "Happy Birthday" with the Ordinary Greetings set and added brads to the bottom right (I colored these with my Copics too - they match!!)
Once you learn the Copic system and some basics on how to color with them ... you too can master them! I am so glad that I took that class today. I have to keep practicing ... and coloring ... oh darn :)

Great coloring girl - once you get the "hang" of coloring/blending with the copics you are hooked. I too took a basic class a while back and love coloring with them.
I'm a total Copics addict too...welcome to the club! :)
See you at the bloghop!
Wow! What a awesome card! Your coloring is FAB...
I love it! I definitely want to take a Copics class...I've been trying to use the techniques I've seen from YouTube video tuts and applying it to the 3 Copics I have and the Bic Mark-It's. I am eager for the day I get the money to get more colors!
i need to take that class too. great job on the entire card!
