Now you may be wondering about the title of my post today. Then again, you may not! I have been thinking for a while of changing from Promarkers and Flexmarkers to Copics and last week decided to buy 6 to give them a try. I have to say I absolutely love them. I have learnt an awful lot using Promarkers but am now selling them and as I sell some will buy more Copics. It will take me a while so for the moment, like this card, I shall be using both. So, the hair, boots and skin are coloured with Copics. Not perfect I know, but it takes a bit of practice learning new colours and of course I only have 6 to play with. I have sold some pens though and have 21 more Copics coming. I am selling them on some Facebook groups at the moment but if any of you are interested then please e-mail me.
So, onto my card, whihc is a Simply Sassy image from Sugar Nellie. The papers are First Edition Blank Canvas and I've simply added some pearls and Cheery Lynn die cut butterflies. Minimal embellishments for me but it didn't seem to need any more as the image is quite large and the papers so pretty and sparkly.

fabulous card Marianne - I have been thinking about doing the change to copics but with the price of them I'm afraid it will be a very slow transition for me - promarkers are good and I've been happy with them - but copics - well - they are nice aren't they? xx
Hi Marianne, Gorgeous card! Love the papers and your Copic colouring looks great.

Hello Marianne, your card is beautiful and I love your colouring especially her hair.
I have been thinking about changing from promarkers to copics.. Some of my promarkers are running out so thought I may have a change instead of replacing them. But I am still undecided. X
Lovely card. The colouring is really good, especially as it's your first go with Copics. Have never used them before (I'm a Spectrum Noir girl) but saw a show with them on C&C the other day, and I must saw I was tempted to try them out.

This is lovely Marianne great colouring and great papers.
I have to admit I was not happy colouring until I got my Copics and I wouldn't swap them for any crafty stash

Lovely card Marianne. I love my copics, even though I'd still say that I'm learning. I couldn't really get to grips with promarkers, I prefer the brush tip.
Good luck with them.
