More Marker Art

This little fellow was from our ATC Markers Masterclass class last year. He is hand-drawn and coloured using copic markers. The Blendabilities markers should give similar results.

Here is the finished card.

                           The colours blended really well with the Stampin' Up Cardstock.

Stampin' Up! Australia. Copic Coloring With Sticker Art

Did you know Stampin' Up! are bringing in new alcohol-based markers similar to copics called Blendabilities? I will certainly be purchasing a full set as soon as they are available. I love using copics and can't wait to try Stampin' Up!s version.

Here is an unusual colour combo, and it just WORKS! I am breaking out of my safe mode and starting to play with new combinations of colour. I love a clean and simple card, without too much distraction for the eye. Plus, this card reminds me to count my blessings (of which I have many).
The sloping letters are balanced by the little flutterby heading across the page. Easy Peasy with the thinlits dies. Just remember to add a piece of greaseproof paper before you run it through the bigshot, and voila! it pops out of the die easily.
