How I made this card

• Using the stamping platform, I stamped one of the floral images in the stamp set repeatedly on a C6 panel.
• Next, I  used a fine liner black pen to hand draw the flower stems.
•  Then I stamped the leaves.
• I applied colours using Copic Ciao markers from the set B.
•  Using a light grey marker,  I also added a very light shade around the flowers.
• To add contrast and shadows I used coloured pencils.

Copic Colouring 

I do my own thing when using alcohol markers.

The basics are blending a light,  a medium and a darker shade of the same colour family. 

Sometimes I used colours from different families. I don’t even think what is the number of the marker and I don’t know the number of the markers.  I kind of refuse to learn that part.

I  just look at the colour of the lid and I think. hey, this might work! If I’m not sure about what shade ill be applying I just trace a line in a scrap piece of paper and check the colour.

Colours on the lid are for reference only and never identical at how the ink looks in the paper.

If I want to alter the colour already on my image  I simple keep blending.

That’s all for today.  


I hope you like this idea and  Happy Crafting!
