I thought this image by Paper Parachute would be perfect for my coloring with Copic markers. I went to my local art supply store and bought some "Manga Drawing Paper". The paper is really quite thick -- 150 lb -- but it works really great. It's absorbant, so you can layer a lot of color and it blends really well.
One tip I've learned lately is: When I want to blend my colors easier, I lay down a layer of the Colorless Blender first and then start adding my colored markers while the area is still a little wet. The colors blend almost efforlessly this way.

I love the psychedelic/late '60's look of this card - the colors are beautiful. Thanks for sharing the tip about putting the blender pen down first and then adding the colors - I'll have to try that.
