Copic Coloring Video
If the video is not visible below, click HERE to view it.
To start, I cut a piece of Simon Says Stamp Cardstock in Orange Peel to 3.75″ x 5.25″ and adhered it to an A2 cardbase cut from Neenah Classic Crest using Beacon’s 3-in-1 Advanced Craft Glue. I set it aside to dry.
Next, I trimmed a piece of Hammermill Smooth Cardstock to 3.5″ x 5″ and stamped the image from the Garden Therapy stamp set using Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black. I colored the image with Copic markers as shown in the video. I stamped the sentiment using Versafine Ink in Onyx Black.
Finally, I assembled the layers as shown.
Card 2
Featured Products
- *Colorado Craft Company Anita Jeram Garden Therapy [ CCC ]
- Pinkfresh Studio Spiral Circle Die [ SBC | SSS ]
- Tsukineko Memento Ink in Black Tuxedo [ SBC | SSS ]
- COPICS: W1, W3, R20 (rabbit); RV55, RV63, RV66, RV69 (beet); R02, R05 (tomato); E50, E51, E53 (potato); R68, Y35, Y38, YG17, YG23 (carrot)
- Additional supplies listed in the thumbnails below
To start, I created an A2 cardbase from Neenah Classic Crest and set it aside. Next I used the Spiral Circle Die to create three die cuts, one from Hammermill Smooth Cardstock, one from Limelight cardstock (MFT), and one from Lemon Chiffon cardstock (SSS). I lined up the three die cuts, shifting each one slightly so that color from each layer would show through and then glued them together.
I stamped the image from the Garden Therapy stamp set on a piece of Hammermill Smooth Cardstock using Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black and colored the image using Copic markers. I didn’t have the coordinating dies, so I fussy cut the image, applied foam squares on the back and adhered it to the front of the spiral die cut. Then I assembled the layers as shown.
