On Saturday I had some money saved up specifically for Copic markers. I couldn't wait to go choose my colors, so after lunch my husband watched the boys for me and I went to Jerry's Artarama (where Copics are about $1 cheaper each than in Archivers!). I thought I knew what colors I wanted, but when faced with such a vast selection I had a really hard time deciding. In the end I got two each of five different colors so that I could at least do a little bit of blending. This card uses the 2 shades in each of violet, blue and green that I chose. Unfortunately blending with just two shades is not really the effect I was looking for (ie. realistic!!) so that just means I need more markers.... wink, wink....!!!!! :)
Thanks for dropping in!
