No Copics?? NO PROBLEM !!
 
I made a card today, and tired to reproduce the look that so many amazing artists on SCS are getting with their Copics. Since this is my FIRST try, I can't say that it is fect, but I do likethe results and will keep trying. So what did I use - MY SU MARKERS!!! Here is my card :

I am hoping to have a tutorial on my blog in the next couple of days, so keep you mouse ready to click there, if you like the look but wanna save the $600! :mrgreen:
UPDATE! The tutorial is available on my blog now!

That is wonderful done! I think I need you to visit Nashville and come teach me how to use my markers that way.

Bravo!!! Great Job!!!!

Beautiful card!

Looking forward to your tutorial, but thanks for going ahead and sharing tips in your blog. :)

MikiBee 10-06-2007 05:22 PM

That is just awesome! That is some GREAT coloring!! I can't wait for your tutorial either. I can't afford Copics... and would love to learn how to do this with regular markers!!

plankhome 10-06-2007 06:12 PM

Great job!!! I have been wanting copic too--but can't afford them. I did find them at Hobby Lobby tonight---5.89 each with a 40% off coupon won't be as bad!

juliemlacey 10-06-2007 06:48 PM

That is really cool! Been thinking about those Copics...hmmm...

Kiko 10-06-2007 06:55 PM

If my coloring with my SU markers was half that good I'd be delighted! Mine just never seems to blend nicely.

Julie, you totally floored me! LOL! I mean, I love your blog and read it all the time but that technique is amazing! I've never seen anything like it! I can't wait until you teach us how to do it!

That's so beautiful!! I'm looking forward to the tutorial!

Julie,
I've had some success with my SU WCWcrayons but I never consider my markers - because I can't get them to look anything but flat.

You've done a terrific job, I never thought markers could produce the wonderful results you got. I'm lining up to wait for the tutorial too. Thanks for the amazing inspiration!

I finished it last night, so I will hopefully have it up tomorrow! It is THanksgiving weekend here, and so I probably will not happen today :rolleyes:

Cynamom 10-07-2007 10:36 AM

Hard to argue with those results. VERY LOVELY! I will admit to loving my Copics, however. I'm just not anywhere near as capable as you are with regular markers, and need the "cheat" that Copic markers allow me!

al_silver2 10-07-2007 07:40 PM

What a great job!! I am just about done buying all the SU markers through a marker club, so I can't wait to see your tutorial! Thanks for sharing!

lesliespringer 10-08-2007 01:33 AM

Love your blog. I can't wait till you post the tutorial!!

stampedbym 10-08-2007 02:38 AM

Lovely card! I can't wait to see the tutorial!

reneejul1 10-08-2007 06:58 AM

Can a mod please put the link to the tutorial in the original post?? It would make it so much easier for those that click on so they can see it right away! Thanks, but if not, that is OK too :)

cindybstampin 10-08-2007 07:02 AM

Great tutorial! I can't wait to try it. Using the aquapainter to remove the color is a brilliant idea!

jpmayo 10-08-2007 07:37 AM

Thank you Julie for the tutorial, I have been waiting all weekend:mrgreen:

stagccva 10-08-2007 07:45 AM

jestermann 10-08-2007 08:36 AM

OMG OMG!! Thank you THANK YOU!!!! I keep seeing and hearing about Copic and I can't cough up couple hundreds but I already have full set of SU markers!! Yay!! But I am wondering if Marvy markers work as well?? What about Zig markers? lol I have those too. I definitely should buy lots of watercolor paper! Whoo!!!

tink357 10-08-2007 08:42 AM

This is so great I been looking at alternatives for copics b/c their not easily found and big$!! The tutorial is wonderful!
Thank You!!

MWAH back at ya!!
