Easy Copic Coloring Miss You card

I love to share easy techniques that I have learned over the many years of card making! I'm sure these are techniques that are well known in the card making community but I'm hoping some new card makers out there that might appreciate these tips and tricks!

I have to say that I am not a copic marker artist by any means. I actually used to be a lot better at it but as I have aged my hands are not as steady as they used to be. This copic coloring technique is  flicking or swiping the tip of the brush side of the copic marker to color die cuts. I made a quick video showing the process below.

So I made this card using some of my favorite goodies and this card just happens to be made up of all die cutting. It's my favorite kind of card and very easy to duplicate. **special note that the frame and the sentiment is popped up with foam adhesive strips.**

I began with an A2 size card base made from smooth white cardstock. I then ran another piece of white cardstock through the die cut machine to create the swirly stitched background using the Detail Swirls Plate. I also die cut a stitched frame die from the Fancy Cake die set from more white cardstock. I wanted the star of this card to be the die cut flowers. There were 5 cuts for each flower and I copic colored each layer using the flicking and swiping motion to create texture on the petals. I cut two sets of the Layered Coneflower dies out of white cardstock. I used Neenah smooth white cardstock. I have found that it works very well with copic coloring and blends nicely. I die cut the Miss You die a few times from a thicker cardstock for thickness and then one time using gold metallic cardstock.

I hope you enjoyed the card I made and got some inspiration to pull out some copics and try this very easy but effective way to color your die cut images. I have affiliate links below to all the supplies I have used to make this card. Thank you so much for stopping by. Happy crafting!!
