Another option is to spritz the paper with alcohol and then stamp with a stamp that has the ink applied.....or apply ink to a die and then cut ou the die of paper that has been spritzed with alcohol.

Can you use Bic or Sharpie Markers instead of the Copic markers? Copic markers are SO expensive.

I have a question about refilling the Ciao brush end of the marker. How do you do it? I tried to remove the brush and part of it came out and part of it remained in the marker. I was able to put the needle next to the part of the brush that remained in the marker, but was that right? Should the entire brush have come out of the marker?

I just found the answer to my question on the I like Markers Blog. I really goofed trying to remove the brush end of the marker. However, someone told me that there was a divider inside the Ciao markers and that I needed to refill each side. Guess that was bad information.

Are there different kinds of copic markers?
Which ones would be the best for coloring the stamped image after you have stamped your card?

I have a question: if I do not want to heat dry
after I have stamped before using Copic, do I use pigment or dye base? One tutorial suggested using Adirondack Ink pad.

Thanks!

I am interested in using copic markers but don't know the first thing about them. Could someone advise?

dear gina!

thanx a lot for this gorgeous idea...i only used water based markers for this technique by now...
this opens a much wider creative range for me...

can this technique be used with clear-stamps, too?

hugs and kisses from germany,
silvi xoxo

Try using ethyl alcohol (vodka) - I believe it is safer for your rubber stamps. Copics are actually made with ethyl alcohol not isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol.

ethyl alcohol is made from plants and isopropyl is made from propene (fossil fuel)

Will I be able to use stampin up inks on my rubber stamps after using alcohol markers on them. Do you just clean them with rubbing alcohol after?
Debbie  |  Sat Mar 8, 2014 at 2:07 PM
are there other alcohol markers that work just as well There are lots out there in the market, and most are large sets 120 markers for a lot less money. Any thoughts? Anyone try another brand?

If this is not the place to post this, sorry. please let me know. Thanks,
