Wednesday’s Card: Copics on Patterned Paper

100th Video

100th Video

Hi All!

Welcome to my 100th card video! This week I thought I would try something new and different. I used Copic markers on top of patterned paper. The paper I used was Stampin’ Up! specialty paper, so it also has glitter on it. You could use pretty much any paper you have on hand – three patterns. But, make sure they are not too dark in color.

I mention this in the video… I know this rose seems really complicated, but when you break it down petal by petal, it’s very easy and you can do it!!

I’ve been sick the last few days, so I’ve been doing some strange things. I made my video live yesterday for awhile by accident – not sure how long it was, but some of you got a sneak peek! I try to get everything for my post ready in advance so I just have to click a few buttons on Wednesday morning.

Anyway, thanks for all your support on the first 100 videos… here’s to the next 100!! Have a great week. 🙂

Supplies

Other Supplies:

  • Hero Arts Envelope Pattern Stamp
  • Copic Markers: R29, R81, R93, RV10
  • We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper

    Congrats on your 100th video!! Beautiful card. I bought that Fifth Ave. Floral set a long time ago since I’ve seen so many lovely cards made with it but I have not even used it yet! Too many stamps… not enough time!!! LOL!

    Hi Darlene! What a really beautiful card! Love that Rose stamp and colouring onto the patterned paper really looks fantastic! Love the idea of punching up smaller squares and rearranging them and THEN stamping. Fantastic! Thank you for the inspiration!

    Congratulations on your 100th video. I only found your blog recently. I love your creativity. And I’ve used several of your patterns and my friends are so impressed. Thank you for making me look good! And I recently started Zumba classes. You are right, it is addictive in a good way.

    Love the card! I think it might actually be the ink you used to ink the edges of the individual squares that bled onto your Copic markers. You have to be careful what inks you use with them or you can ruin them and will have to keep replacing the tips.

    Hi Darlene,
    Just got online to see Wednesday’s card. How beautiful. I really have to get some copic markers. You inspire me!

    Have a great weekend and congrats on # 100!

    Wow Darlene…this is absolutely beautiful! Such a great idea…which I may have to try one day! Love the beautiful soft pinks. Congratulations on your 100th video! I enjoy watching you work and create!

    Darlene, LOVE the card! Beautiful.

    A suggestion.. try stamping your image with black ink and then quickly, before it dries, use clear embossing powder. The end result looks the same, but the clear embossing won’t “bleed” or wreck your Copic marker tips! 🙂

    Thanks so much for the inspiration and for sharing your lovely creations.

      @pamela – GREAT idea Pamela!! I’ll have to do that next time.

    Very pretty! Thanks for the tip; coloring one petal at a time is a great idea!

    Embossing Queen

    This card is so pretty Darlene. I can’t wait to try this technique myself. I just realised tonight that I haven’t been receiving your posts for the last month, so I have some catching up to do. I thought you must have been on holidays or something. When I say the email in my inbox tonight I went straight to it and watched and realised I had missed all these other videos, so now I am having a lovely evening watching you make your lovely cards!

    Mary

    This is really pretty. The problem is that the alcohol in the copic dissolves the plastic of the embossing powder. I wonder if it could be done another way. Maybe stamp the image in Memento, then color it, then, when dry, using your positioner, overstamp with Versamark and emboss with black. That might be too scary after so much work, but it might be worth trying. Just a thought!

    I haven’t had a chance to visit for a while and discovered your gallery. I had to check out your coloring on the rose. The entire technique just blew me away. Thanks for the fabulous inspiration, and for including the Copic colors used.

    hi Darlene, could you do the same thing using the zig clean brush markers?

    • wrote on February 7th, 2016 at 9:56 pm

      Darlene DeVries

      The Zig brush markers don’t work as well on non-watercolor paper. You could try it using 2 colors (light and dark) and no water. I would apply an all-over cover of the light, then drop a little dark into the shadow. Using dark first will likely get you some harsh edges.
