And while you are checking out some blogs take a look at Couture Cardstock.  I've been working in close cooperation with the company to develop a product that would work well for use with Copic Markers.  Today I'm happy to annouce that they are releasing the first two products in the Pure Silk Collection: Detail Blending Paper and One Sheet Wonder.

I love working with these papers!  They are available for purchase at retail and wholesale and shipping next week.

 

Here is a single-layer card using One Sheet Wonder.  Even with repeated coloring over and over an area I experienced no bleed through.  I'm very excited about this product.

    Hi Sally! I am a marker junkie!!! For years i have used a competitor to design products for manufacturers, such as garden flags for Lowes Stores, fabric for JoAnn’s, etc. Where had i been all these years that i never owned a COPIC???? For shame! Since July, i have now acquired 60 COPICS! As my teens would say, “mom, your obsessed!” Copic Girls Rock!

    Sally Lynn, you introduced me to Copics this past summer. I used them, liked them, but wasn’t sure what the big deal was. until. Until I created an acrylic project with alcohol inks instead of Copics. Wow! I found out there really is a difference in Copic markers! The colors are more vivid. You’ve convinced me. Now I have a new obsession.

    As a kid I would escape from the bullies by spending hours coloring. I used crayons and colored pencils to release my emotions and create something beautiful. Recently I took the plunge into Copics and have refound that peaceful escape. I’m still working on the techniques, but THANK YOU for helping me rediscover my coloring past time. I also love the Spica markers and use them on just about every card I make. A bit of glittery goodness makes all things better.

    I use Copic markers to color in my stamped images for cards mostly. I also teach classe at my LSS. I have taught 3 classes so far and most people are immediately addicted to these wonderful markers! I love these markers and it shows to the people I teach that have never used them. I am going to get a compressor, too……someday…..

    I shied away from images that needed coloring until I found Copic markers. I tried the watercolor markers and found that they were difficult to use on regular cardstock but when I used Copics for the first time I was hooked! The color goes on smoothly and never streaks or wears a hole in the paper, no matter how many times I go over an image. I love using them and now I look for images that need to be colored!

    I don’t own any Copics “yet”…my New Years Resolution number 1. Buy Copics number 2 Buy more Copics number 3 what more Copics…you guessed it! I have seen so many amazing things done with these and I “itch” to own my own…maybe even someday “I” could get certified…now that would be another great resolution! Great coloring you do…and thanks for the chance!

    Hi.
    So great give-away.
    I have been a sworn Copic fan.
    Do not hold on so long with the ink, but have become totally dependent on them.
    I spend most Copic Sketch –
    Really like these because of the brush tip.
    Also there is so much nice colors.

    Thank you for showing us how easy it is to achieve stunning images with the Copic markers. They are quick and easy to use. The Design Team tutorials are so helpful. After viewing a few I had to start my own collection. All my other markers have been passed down to my children! I am enjoying the freedom that the Copic markers give me.

    Why do I love Copics? Because they give me the ability to color easily and are very forgiving. The fine tip makes it effortless to color in tiny areas and shading becomes rewarding. I nearly always use only my Copics, now, because I can achieve the results I want that other coloring mediums did not allow.

    Hi, SL! I am totally hooked on the sketch markers, because I love color (I could buy them just because all the colors look so beautiful on my desk, but I use them EVERY day.) There’s such versatility – I can go from the softest shade to the deepest, richest color. It’s like my coloring days are back again – and it just makes me so happy and satisfied to see an image come alive after I’ve colored it with my Copics. I use them on paper, fabric, anything I can get my hands on. They’re an integral part of my papercrafting process!

    I’ve noticed that every time I am drawn to a card on the blogs that I visit the coloring if always done with Copics. The richness of the colors and the blending produce such a work of art. It’s almost as if I can reach out and touch the cards on the computer screen because the Copics make them jump off the screen. I can only imagine what the images look like in reality because I do not own any Copics yet. I say yet because as soon as I save enough money I am purchasing a set and can’t wait to start creating with them.

    I don’t have any Copics yet as my budget won’t allow it but I adore the techniques and color graduations that can bring images alive. When I was little, I loved to color…but I always licked my bottom lip while I was doing it…consequently, in the winter, especially, I had awful chapped lips. Hee,hee…my husband caught me doing it just the other day. Guess some habits just don’t go away!

    Excited to hear about the paper! I am ordering some right now! Very smart! I love Copic markers. You taught me all about them at Queen’s Ink in Maryland. I have been teaching with them ever since. My faithful ladies love the classes and I use different colors each time so they can build their Copic collection. I had a resistant student that said she wasn’t sure about the “Copic” thing. Ha, after the class she asked me to pick out a “starter” kit for her. Now she has close to 200!

When there’s been a stamp to color, I usually use my watercolors or colored pencils with mixed results. I’d love to be a winner, learn to use them, and become a Copic advocate!

    I discovered Copic Markers in May of 2009. I’ve never looked back since! One copic creation and I was in love!
    The colors are so rich and vibrant! I have colored pencils, H20’s, etc..nothing can compare to the vibrant colors and shading you get with Copic Markers!
    I was so in love, in June of 2009 I started a group called Copic Buzz. Our group is now 345 members strong! We share information, our creative projects, color combos, anything Copic related you can find there!About a month after that our group started a challenge blog also called Copic Buzz. Yes, We are all hooked!
    I became a Copic Certified Designer in Oct 2009. Not because I wanted to teach but because I wanted to know all the little details I could learn! And..boy was it worth it!
    The minute I saw the Airbrush System in the class, well yep you can guess! I had to have that also! It is amzaing! I have said goodbye to all the dirty sponges and messy fingers I used to have!
    Why you ask do we love Copics..well besides the vibrant and rich colors, did you know you can color just about anything? Buttons, ribbon, metal, wood, fabric, you name it Copic Markers will color it!
    To show you what I mean, here is a card I created where all the embellishements are colored with Copic Markers!
    http://scrapworld-scrap2day.blogspot.com/2009/10/snow-fairy.html
    The button, ribbon, and pearls were all colored with my beloved Copic Markers!
    Isn’t it awesome that you can buy all white embellishments and simply color them with your Copics and the whole project will be color cordinated?
    Simply Amazing!

I use my copic markers to color in line images for cards I make. I have sketch and ciao but prefer sketch since they have more colors! The thing I love best about these markers is their amazing blending capabilities that gives such depth to the image you color. AWESOME!!

    I love my Copics. It is really hard to find them here, so in desperation I e=mailed Marianne earlier this year and she was so amazing. The next thing I knew I got an e-mail from Japan, telling me where to find them, even giving me names and numbers of people to call!

    I love Copic markers because I can color in images and make them look professional even though I am not ;o) because of the ability to blend and the awesome classes/tutorials available. And it is important with my family. We are a biracial family in a white world. I have been coloring in images in books and on wrapping paper for years. Now I love that I can easily make cards and images for scrapbooks for my children that look like them (be it african american, biracial, or caucasian…or any race at all!!) Thanks Copic, for recognizing that peach and dark brown doesn’t cover it all!!
    hugs,

    I love copics because the effect you can achieve by using copics cannot be achieved by any other markers. They are one of a kind!
    I am loving the fact that copics team is expanding.Maybe someday I will get a chance to attend a certification class too.I need to learn a lot about copics before that. Looking forward to learning a lot of tip and techniques for using Copics form all you gals.

    I love your blog! As a copic newbie, less than one month into ownership, I am totally in love with them. I recently bought some Gina K Luxury card stock and life in copic land is much better. I am so glad that I invested in these markers. I use the sketch markers for coloring only. I have not even looked into the airbrush system, yet! Thanks for this great giveaway too!

    My Copic Sketch markers are my number one loved product in my stamp room. I store them in a basket with a handle so I can carry them around. Many times I stamp images then take them with me to another room and color while watching TV. I love how they blend and create beautiful professional images. I love the shape of these because they don’t roll off my work area. I can’t image not having my Copics and I am anxious to add to my collection.

    I am so surprised by Copic markers, there are so many colors to choose from. I was skeptical to try copics because I thought I was coloring challenged and would never be able to do beautiful work like some of the amazing work I see on all the different blogs. I have never been able to stamp with open line images because I always felt my work came out like a kindergardner’s. Once I invested in some colors for blending and watched a few tutorials and I got the right paper and ink, I was well on my way to creating the most gorgeous cards I have ever made. I have been converted and I am now a Copic true beliver- You too can color! With a little practice you can color the most professional looking dynamic images. I have received so many compliments I can’t believe it. I love the sketch and the ciao markers and can’t wait to get some more colors to round out my collection. I even got your color chart so that I can experiment with the Kuler color rules and make my own color combinations. Thank you Copic for giving me a superior product I can use in my stamping and scrapbooking. I love that you can use the copics on all dir=fferent mediums, not just paper. Best investment I ever made. I love COPICS!

Not only that but they’re easy to transport, relatively mess free, and with endless possibilities. Doesn’t get any better. Thanks for the inspiration and opportunity 🙂

    What I love most about the Copics is that they don’t leave marker lines when you color and even if you don’t do all the beautiful shading, you can still color images that look great. I’m still on the learning curve for the shading but if I want to just color something one color, it still looks ok. I have a bunch of Sketch markers but am always looking for more colors and will start working on collecting the refills next. Thanks for a great product that has enriched the stampers lives.

    oh cool! I’m looking forward to the papers!
    I have long admired and envied people who colored beautifully with markers. I just never could get mine to look like theirs. I always had streaks and it would end up looking like a child had colored! Then someone told me to use another alcohol based marker and while I had a little better results than the regular markers, my coloring was still pretty awful. I gave up and just colored everything with colored pencils or water colors. When I started seeing all the beautiful cards being colored with copic markers I was sad that they were done with markers because I just knew I’d never be a marker user. But, the lovely work I kept seeing pulled me in and I finally decided to try out copics myself. I bought three markers just to practice, but I didn’t have much faith they’d be any different. Imagine my surprise and delight when I saw how beautifully the colors blended and NO STREAKS! Finally I had found a marker that let me color like a true artist. Needless to say, I was hooked. That was about a year ago and I now have over 100 markers. I love them all, and I’d love to win!

    I discovered the wonderful world of Copics this summer only after I had purchased the Stampin Up markers. Well long story short, I sold those on ebay and have purchase Ciaos to begin with and now have sketch markers and some of the original Copics. I have passed down my Ciao to my daughter, and together we both make cards for my blog. I don’t feel that I need any other kind of marker..I have always been a collector of pen, but since I found Copics I no longer keep any of the others. I just don’t even think of them or need them for anything. My sketch give me such wonderful results. I just love them..I can not wait to get more. Have a great day, Lisa Gobea at l_gobea@yahoo.com

    First, I was just looking at Couture Cardstock yesterday and am glad to know that they have a line to use with Copics.
    Next, I love my Copics. When I first started using them a couple of years ago they were difficult to find, so my husband carried a list with him when he traveled for work and would get me a handful here and there if there was an art store near his destination. I don’t think he understood why I needed special markers until I sent out our Christmas cards and one of his friends commented on the quality of the coloring. Now that my collection has grown and I have learned more blending techniques my coloring is even better.
    I am happy to see that there will be more certification classes available, and i can’t wait to find a class in my area.

    I use Copic Sketch Markers for coloring stamped images on hand-made greeting cards. I’ve been making cards for over 15 years, and have gone through many types of markers. They all either fade, wear out, or dry out so quickly that the true cost was astronomical. When I started using Copics last year, I found not only the solution to those problems, but the ability to truly create the color shading effect that makes each and every card stunning. They’ve really opened up a whole new way to create cards, and have revitalized my creativity!

I’ll have just one….NO!……72. I’ll have just 72 that should be more than enough. Well….I get just a few more to fill out those missing areas. That should be enough now. BUT….they just came out with those wonderful 0000 colors. They MUST be in my collection. THAT really should be enough now. Well………..I really could use more greys and browns now. Aw, heck! I’m only missing 30 of the regular colors….let’s work on getting them all!!! Yup……it’s an addiction. Now I’ll have to move on to the refills.

    I have tried every type of marker and I just keep going back to the Copics. They are the easiest to use to blend colours and I have way more control using them. I had to have brain surgery which forced me onto Long term Disability so crafting budget is limited, but I just have to have my Copics!

    Hi Sally Lynn. Congrats on becoming a regional instructor. I love my Copic markers. I love all the colors, and all the ways you can use them. I’ve only tried a few of the techniques, but hope to learn more at classes and via the blogs. So far, I can say I’ve never had a problem with these markers. Not a single one. Everything I’ve ever colored with them makes me look like a pro!

    I LOVE to color on my cards. I have tried many mediums before, but now after trying Copics I will never go back. The ease of coloring, shading and blending thrills me to my core. I am so grateful that I finally gave in, took a beginner class and am now on the way to owning some! Thanks for the knowledge you provide, and share freely! It makes it so much better!!

    I found copics by accident one day just bloghopping. I found Marianne’s site and fell in love with markers. I tried several different kinds of markers. (The cheaper ones first.)But the more color I wanted, the paper either pebbled up or tore altogether. So I decided I’d give a couple of the Copics a try. I bought what was called the ‘Denim’ set of three blue shades. Well, I have never looked back. Eventually I’ll have them all. I live on a fixed income so I can only get a few at a time. But I will keep adding them, one at a time if I have to. Thanks for the opportunity.

    I am sooooo in love with my Copic markers (I have both Sketch & Caio)! One of my favorite childhood pastimes was coloring with Crayola Crayons. That passion has been replaced by Copics (although I do miss the crayon smell…LOL).
    I am mainly a cardmaker. I began rubber stamping with friends over 15 years ago & had tired of the usual ways to color my images so my stamps just sat in boxes…….unused. Then about 2 years ago I sold them all…..well over 1,000. I thought I would never stamp again.
    A few months ago a dear friend introduced me to the wonderful world of Copics & I was hooked. It has renewed my love for coloring images. Copic markers blend so beautifully together & bring my images to life. No more crayons for me. My Copics are the only way I “color”. They make me feel like a “real” artist!
    Since then I have been buying both clear & rubber stamps as well as digi images. My collection of stamps & Copic markers is growing fast (a girl can never have too many of either one). Some day I would love to own the airbrush system. It would be a perfect way to give my cards that beautiful finished touch.
    Thank you so much for the offer.

    I resisted Copic’s for so long then I bought 25 in a Ebay auction and the ‘Obsession’ started. I started playing with these and begged everyone I knew for images I could color. That’s when I realized you need a special ink for the Copic’s images but that didn’t stop me I continued coloring and following Marianne’s blog. I took certification classes in April with Sally, just a few weeks after major back surgery. I learned so much in that class just fulfilling my obsession even farther. I now have 169 colors in Sketch, Ciao, Original and I even have one in Wide. I dedicate at least one hour a day to Copic’s coloring, blending and technique’. I may not be the best but I love coloring with Copic’s and guarentee once you work with them for a while you’ll feel the obsession also, I cannot endorse Copic’s enough, its the best thing to hit the Craft world.

    It is because of Debbie Olson that I am a Copic lover. I owned a bunch and decided that they just weren’t the marker that everyone said they were. I posted on a forum about my dislike of them and Debbie responded very kindly and told me to give them a chance and it took practice. I emailed Debbie several times with questions and she very kindly answered all my questions and every single email I sent her.
    I had decided that I was going to sell my markers on an auction site because I just wasn’t getting the hang of them. I finally took a class at a local rubber stamp store and it literally changed my stamping life. The woman teacher was so thorough with instructing us about how they work differently from other “typical” markers.
    I am so glad that I hung in there and learned how to use them. They are the best thing out there. I am so pleased now with the results that I get with the markers that I have.

It is fun to work with and even at the beginner stage that I’m in, this is the first time I am happy with my coloring and feel confident that with more and more practice, I can be even better (whereas with the other mediums I would give up using them very quickly and not even feel motivated enough to continue using). My wish list is very short now—my list from 1 to 10 starts with 1st choice: copics and ends there!

    They are very rich and smooth. I love, love how they blend. You can use them on all different types of materials as well. The fact they can be airbrushed makes my heart skip a beat! I wish Santa would bring me the entire collection. I would lose my mind.
    One other thing I love is the sharing of the product knowledge. The instructors are too kind to share their projects, some even do videos! How awesome for someone like myself who is still in the learning stages!

The projects that they have created are so wonderful and the blending is fabulous. I have tried to recreate many of the projects using the same stamp and the “markers” I have on hand without any success. All of them I have discarded! They just can’t compare to the the quality that I see in the tutorials.

    I was a total watercolor girl and resisted purchasing Copic makers. Oh, I looked at all the wonderful projects that I’d see that used Copic’s and said…Ahhhh…I can get the same vibrancy and blending with watercolor, and I did. But watercolor has a certain look and it’s a look all it’s own. Copics have a certain clean, crisp, illustrated type of look that you can’t get with watercolor….so I ended up giving in. I started by purchases 2 sets ciao markers…mostly because of the price factor. I love sketch markers and have slowly added them to my stash of ciao’s. But looking to purchase my next two set of ciaos at the beg. of 2010.
    I am so glad I purchased my first two sets and they are worth every penny!
    I’d love to play with the airbrush system…and I totally want the new 0000 colors….and of coase still want to take a certification class.

    I do not own any Copic markers yet, but they are at the top of my wish list. I kept reading about Copic markers and after coming across so many references to them on blogs, I finally asked a blogger who always uses them and creates such beautiful and detailed projects and being so kind enough to share templates, paper scans and tutorials. She emailed me how wonderful they are to color, emboss, on most surfaces. The colors are beautiful and they really do make coloring in stamps look professional. I’ve been dreaming about maybe Santaa bringing me some this year.

The colors are gorgeous and just go on so smoothly. I have some of the sketch markers. Whenever I think I have enough colors to make do I see another one that I love.

    I bought my first Copic markers because I loved the vibrant colors and the fact that they blend seamlessly, without lines, and don’t pill the paper, unlike water-based markers, no matter how much you color over the same spot. They also have less of a chance of getting muddy compared to watercolors. My cards look so much more professional when I use my Copics and the range of colors is unmatched. My artistic coloring ability has really blossomed from using my Copic markers and following the Copic designers’ blogs. They are undoubtedly one of the best investments in my stamp room.

    I grew up loving coloring books. All you had to do was give me a coloring book and a big box of crayons and I could easily entertain myself for hours. When I started stamping, I thought I would love to color in images – but to my surprise, I didn’t! In fact, I hated it! I tried nearly every coloring medium available, but I just could not get the look nor with the color range that I wanted. So, I restricted myself to buying solid imagine stamps or ones that needed very little coloring. After reading all the rave reviews about Copics, I was convinced that I needed to give them a try. A few weeks ago, I attended a short 2-hour Copic class and fell in love! Not only do I have plenty of options with 334 colors, but I am also learning to get the exact look that I want with their awesome blending abilities. I have finally found my perfect coloring medium!

    I have been scrapbooking easily for 10 yrs. I manage and teach classes at a LSS in my area. I have always had an issue with rubber stamping (I seem unable to get a good image) when acyrlic and unmounted rubber stamps emerged on the scene especially some of the newer companies I got really excited. I have never been an artist, creative yes, but not truly an artist but I recently attended the Copic certification class in Grand Rapids, MI and it opened a whole new world for me. These markers are so fantastic that with a few blending techniques mastered and Marianne’s lesson on shading, my projects look like an artist may have done them. I really excited to start sharing what I’ve learned in a formal education setting, until then I’m practicing my ‘coloring’!!!!
    Thank you Copic!!!!

    Hey there! I would love to tell you about an endangered marker called the copic. i love them, you love them many of us do but in australia they are few and far between. Hunted my many a scrapping and cardmaking enthuisast the copic marker is hard to find. often hiding out in random uni stationary and art shop. never can the full range of copic be seen together but in the books and on the copic website we here in australia dream of the full range of colours that the copics provide to us. help us save the copic markers…. send some out to australia so they can be loved by all(especially me!!!)

    Sally, I went to your workshop, because I want to further my knowledge of Copic usage. I have so little experience using Copics. I know I have found my adult style of coloring with 64 count Crayola crayons in my using Copic Markers. The Copic colors are soft & brilliant, soothing & intense, barely there and dynamically rich…AND I want them ALL!
    Thanks so very much Sally for the Copic 101 class in Princeton, In a few weeks back. I stopped by Rubber Stamp Fantasy in Marietta, after watching my daughter and walking partner finish 60 miles in 3 days for Komen! Thanks for the head up…I came home with many goodies and could have stayed all afternoon there!

The fantastic colour range ensures you are always able to find the right colour for your project!

    Copics are crayolas for big girls! I love being able to colour and shade just like I did as a kid – except, this time, they don’t break nor need sharpening! The best thing ever is introducing my god-daughters to the world of Copic with Ciaos. They draw cute manga chibis and then have the best time colouring. I prefer Copic classic (square heads) but love the subtlety of the triple & quad 0’s of Sketch.

    Copics are AMAZING! I can’t believbe how much you can do with them compared to other markers out there! You can even accomplish the shading they show with only one marker and your colorless blender! People should consider all you get for the price, they are economically more reasonable if you take into account being able to refill them and change their nibs! It’s a great value in the end. But SOOO worth it!

    Woo hoo, Sally Lynn! A chance to win more copics! Wonderful. I am slowly adding to my meager collection of 23 copics. I am using mostly caio copics due to the cost of the sketch, but have a few sketch markers as well. I love the blending abilities of these markers and am still eagerly learning how to highlight and make realistic shadows following Mariane’s tutorials. I have had a full box of Tombow markers for a number of years, but there is just no comparison to the results I get with copic markers. I will soon be getting rid of the Tombows.
    Seeing as you are the designer for my area of the country, I want to strongly encourage you to bring certification classes to Toronto and saving spots for members of the public. I would love to have the opportunity to learn more! Thanks.

    I’ve been a COPIC lurker for a couple years. I didn’t even take the plunge myself. My husband held my hand and gave me some for a gift just a month ago. I’ve been surfing online for all the ways to use them and get better at using them… probably spending WAY more time surfing then I should on practice coloring with them. (I didn’t know there are Colorists. I want to be a Colorist! How cool does that sound!?! Nevermind that I have no color theory that could save me!) I learned the markers can also be used to color embellishments and so when I was making a mask for my Halloween costume, I thought, “Hey, I could use my new COPICs!” (I also tried to use a Sharpie, but it’s NOT the same!). Well, I guess I didn’t wait long enough for it to dry because my husband asked what all the black stuff was on my face… after I had taken the mask off. Well, I’m still surfing on how to use these things, but I also have actually started practicing. Fun times!! “Kids, want to color? Mommy wants to color.”

    I have been waiting, chomping at the bit, I ordered a 36 piece set!
    I’m sure that number will grow in no time at all.
    I fell in love with Copics right away and had to have them. They have the most amazing color, so bright amd vivid, they just make you feel good.
    Budgets are tight these days, so I have had to wait a while, but it was worth the wait.
    My Stamps are ready to go!!

    My name is Cheryl and I am powerless over Copic sketch markers. I’ll admit it…I’m a total Copic addict. I use them in almost all of my card creations and all I can think of is getting my grubby little hands on more! LOL!! Seriously though, these markers are probably my favorite tool and I just can’t think of how I survived without them ;D

    I use Copic’s Sketch Markers for coloring stamped images. I reguarly visit blogs where Copic marker’s are used so I know what color combinations look good and I know what Copics to buy. And I always need more markers.
    Thank you for sharing Couture paper. Our local stamp/scrap store recently starting stocking Copic Sketch marker and I gave them all the information I have about Copics but had only one paper suggestion.

    I have discovered copic markers about a year ago. I was reading on some site at this time I have no idea who’s it was but man are they in trouble! I love copic markers! I started out being very timid about using my markers. I have no clue why because I missed out on many months of easy fun creating. I finally decided that I can not really hurt them and should just dive in there and use them. After all what is the most tht can happen…besides finding out that I want more and more colors. They blend so well together! The main thing I have found since starting is the colorless blender is not necessarily needed to blend. I have found out more that I use it as an eraser or a highlighter! I love that there are so many color choices. I have mostly sketch markers but a few of the others.

    There are so many things I love about Copics but just to name one…I would have to say the colorless blender…Where else can you find markers that are actually forgiving. Make a little boo-boo and you can literally correct your minor mistake with the blender pen. Just another example of how the designers at copic have really thought of their customers and making them something the true crafter just can’t live without.

My poor watercolour pencils sit lonely and neglected in a drawer while my Copics take centre stage – right out there on my desk – front and centre.They know they are well loved and cared for but the only problem is that they sometimes wish they had more company – yes, more copics would certainly make the party more fun!

    Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved coloring. I even won a $50 prize as a kid for my coloring! Now that I’m an adult I love using Copics to color. I use mostly Copic Ciao but have some Sketch pens also. Coloring my images is relaxing and a stress release for me. Copics are so easy to use and the more you learn about them the better your coloring becomes.

    I love my Copic markers and it is my preferred method of coloring for almost any images. Last year, I created alcohol spritzed image cards and I liked them so much more than the same effect with watercolors and water, more vibrant.. even though you have to work quick. I’m always surprised when I’m coloring that I’d like just one more shade of this or one more shade of that, I’m always saying.. I could use another green, blue, violet or red.. its comical as I have over 120 Copics and its still not enough!!
    I would love the airbrush, I want to see how well those work with the Stampscape images for creating sunsets and sunrises, landscapes and scenery!!

    I have to say I have used many different types of markers over the years and the Copic Markers by far are the best! They color and blend better than any others on the market. Though my collection is not complete, I am adding to it all the time. The colors are rich and bright and the airbrush (which I am hoping Santa will bring me) is a wonderful option, that no other has company has made available affordably. I also love that they are refillable, which is economical and good for the environment too.
    It’s important for me to have a good product for my crafting needs. I have a stressful job and my crafting time is my relaxation time and the last thing I need is for my craft supplies to stress me out too. Copic Markers are dependable every time to blend well and distribute color evenly in all of my art work and projects. Thank you for such and AWESOME product!!

Since Copics have light colors, I use them as the base for all my coloring, then I layer on anything else I have in my inventory. I would LOVE for Copics to release all the colors of Sketch in Caio version. I actually like the feel of the round tube more than I do the squarish tube. And I rather spend a little less money with Caio so I can buy more colors.

    After becoming addicted to stampers’ (mostly) blogs, I noticed how many bloggers mentioned their fabulous Copic markers. I was intrigued & started reading everything I could about them. I think I’ve purchased about every marker known to man, over the years, not ever being truly satisfied with the results. I’ve always been creative, love to color & (now) have a huge collection of stamps. Finally, I took the plunge & found that Copic markers were the answer! So versatile! To date, I have collected 154 Sketch markers, all the Atyou Spica pens, all the Multiliner SP BS pens, a black Copic Ink Pro Wallet Liner Kit Marker Set, one of the airbrush starter sets & the Papercrafting DVD. I couldn’t praise Copic highly enough – I love it all!

    My name is Sophia and I’m 14 years old. I started using copics a couple years ago when my favourite art started to stock them, and I bought my first two colours: E00 and E27. Before, I was just using sharpies and other random markers to colour my work, and my none of them had any nice skin colours! Of course, I loved the brush tip so much, (it was brilliant for doing hair!) I spent most of my pocket money buying a couple more colours! Then, for my birthday my grandparents bought me a 24 ciao set. It was love at first sight.
    Now, I have a lot more now (around 55), and I have filled quite a few of my 5×7 copic sketchbooks up with my drawings! I wasn’t that good with them when I started, I always ended up with icky bleeds and colours that went outside the lines. But I read many tutorials online, and eventually created my own style! Rather than going for light to dark for example, I colour in my base colour, then go dark to light. I’ve never seen anybody else do it this way, and that’s whats so great about copics! You can use them in so many ways, and it always turns out fantastiv.
    I love the versatility of copic markers. I have used them on school projects, cards, and colouring vinyl figures! I want to thank you for giving me the chance to use them, and all your other amazing products. I currently use your paper, inking pens, and set B of spica’s (I use them on a whole bunch of assignments, as well as the finishing touch on a characters eyes!)

Profile photo of adminSally Lynn often mixes her love of creating and teaching art with her high-tech side – blending a love of handmade art with hybrid-digital media in what she playfully calls her ‘studio lab’. Every now and then her large-format printer is subjected to printing on a surface that definitely is not listed in the owners’ manual.

She is a maven for studio organization, using her abilities to use spreadsheets and databases to bring order from chaos. “It’s marvelous when the right and left brain actually work together in the studio!” Read More…

Instagram post 2191587425254464406_392177945 I finished my #resin #necklace, which started with a @gelpress print in the bright #copper #bezel from @ranger_ink and ended up including a wing element that my Mother-in-law gave me over the Thanksgiving holiday from a broken necklace. Sheet music #collaged into the resin says 'Cresc. molto' which roughly translated means 'growing a lot' and has become my talisman and phrase for 2020. Do you have a word or phrase for the coming year that helps guide your goals and dreams?
