First off, let it be known, I am copic challenged! I prefer re-inkers and w/c pencils, or prismacolor pencils, just not copics. This card was a hard one for me. I only tried it because I have a small set of copics and thought I better give them a try, after all I bought them! lol Here we go.....
I stamped my image on w/c paper and tried coloring w/copics. They just didn't sparkle for me, so I versa marked and clear eb them, which seemed to help. Cut the image out, sponged edges for a little comfort, then glued it onto orange cs that I also sponged. To relax a little more, I doodled the edges! lol
On a white card, I stamped itty bitty bg in black, sponged the edges and added a strip of ribbon on the side. This is another area that I am challenged in, ribbons.
Popped up the main image on the card and said....Whew! Glad this one is done!........TFL :0)

Looks great from here!!! I can't color with markers period... none of them! I too prefer pencils but gave it a go because I had bought a few to try. Ugh! Anyway, I love your card! The itty bitty bg with black spots and ribbon are the perfect touch!

I love the pop of your card, it is very striking! If I could gently say, watercolor paper is the worst for Copic coloring...it absorbs the ink too fast.
