At the Copic - Copicabana

Penny and Rusty have tried many different stamping/crafting pens over the years but their current favourite pens are Copic markers. In the past, Penny and Rusty would try to colour in their stamping images with water-colour pencil crayons. At the time, this seemed like a great solution but sometimes the images seemed to lack a bit of richness in the colours.

At roughly $5 per marker (when they are on sale), Copics are not the cheapest way to colour your stamped images; but they are very versatile. Copics are alcohol-based markers with dual nibs that allow you to blend your colours to create depth and shadow in your images. And with hundreds of different colours to choose from, your only problem will be on trying to figure out which ones to buy.

Here are a couple of cards that Penny and Rusty have created with Copic markers:
