This is my first Copic-colored card. My dear friend BeckyTE helped my husband get me started with them for my birthday! It's great to have wonderful friends! I'm a beginner, but I'm sure enjoying using them...thanks for taking a closer look.

Oh, another September baby!!! I'm a September 14th'er and one of my other friends on SCS's I found out is a September 8th'er. Weird, huh, that both September stampers I've come into contact with tonight!!! Like you needed to get copic markers Cheryl - PLEASEEEE!!! Your coloring is always so top notch with or without copics. I have a small collection going too. It looks easy when I see tutorials, but then when I get ready to do it, it turns into a muddled mess!! I'll keep trying. Your did a splendid job here and I love that paper piercing and ribbon along with that dynamite color combo!! Whew, this is GORGEOUS and clean!! TFS!

Thanks, gals! Pam, you talk about learning to use Copics...and muddled messes! If you knew how many different colors I ended up using in the green, you'd laugh! It is actually harder with fewer Copic markers...so I got more...ha-ha! And I want more...oh, well! Thanks for your sweet comments.

Well Cheryl, you would never know that you are a beginner with your copics! This is beautiful!! Your colouring is always beautiful though!!! I am so intimidated by colouring and really admire people that make it look so effortless!! This truly is beautiful and the piercing is wonderful!!!

Ahhh - piercing! So pretty! Ahhh - tulips! So Springy!!!
First card with copics, eh? I'm impressed. I've managed to avoid going that route at this point. I am a 'collector' and a 'completer'. Once I start 'collecting' something new, I am compelled to complete the collection. And I'm not convinced I'd be any good with Copics so I figure if I avoid purchasing any, I'll have more holiday money...
And your card is simply awesome! I love the way this layout gives full attention to that gorgeous tulip...
