This is for Sabrina's fun challenge, to try a new tutorial. At first glance this looks like many of my other cards, but not so.
Usually I colour with Prismacolour pencils first, then add a few Copic highlights. This time I did the proper technique and coloured with Copics first and then I added pencil. Copics don't blend all that well on copy paper, but the purpose of this technique is just to lay down a Copic base coat. The pencils work beautifully over the Copics.
Even the sky is done with a Copic marker....it used to be a vibrant blue, but after one too many misuses, it's now a washed out powder blue.
I swished a walnut stain distress ink blending tool over everything and was more heavy handed in the left hand corner.
Thank you for looking, I hope you are having a happy, inky week.

This is so beautifully done, I am just in awe of the fact that you used your copics on copy paper. ( I would think it would have been like coloring a sponge)
