I love Copic Markers!!!






How great are Copic Markers?! A few weeks ago, they were on sale at Hobby Lobby, so I added a few more to my growing collection. I've been using markers as an art medium since Jr. High, so I was so excited the first time I tried a Copic - they are so easy to use. I still like my Prismacolors, but the blending is nicer and seem to have a better result on regular paper or cardstock instead of having to use marker paper with the Copics.
Here are two recent cards I created, using my Copics. One was for my little cousin's 4th birthday and the other was for my mom's friend. I stamped with Staz-On ink - it seems to be the cleanest one out there that I've found for detailed stamps and doesn't bleed with the Copics. The friend card is actually punched - the stamp is on the inside and the scallop punch is a window, opening up to it.



I hope this inspires someone to try some Copics!
