Add Texture with Copic Blending Solution!

Hi bloggers, and happy Wednesday to you!  I just loved this genius idea of adding texture to Copic coloring video taped by our friends at Scraptime in CHA last month, so I had to share it with you!


Scrap Time - CHA Winter 2012 - Copic Markers - Creating Texture from Mark Giles on Vimeo.

Supplies to add texture to your next Copic Markers Project from this blog:




In order to get texture with Copic coloring, pick a material like a piece of sweater, wadded paper towel, a terry cloth rag, burlap or even twine!

Here's a gorgeous example from Kerry Johnson...she used the texture technique to add a fuzzy element to the sweater in this adorable stamp set from MFT, Let's Chat.  Don't you love it?

    What a great technique! Wondering if it also works when you color with watercolor, must try soon! Love Kerry's card! Great colors and love the stamp and sentiment. That stamp set is gorgeous! Love springtime, my birthday is right after the beginning of spring so always love it when spring arrives! Hugs, Hanneke
