Copic Watercolour Effects
Using Copic markers for Watercolour effects is quick, fun and results are different each time! This is a great technique for a super quick thank you card, gift tag or background.
What I used:
- Copic Various ink refill - '0' Blender ink
- Mini Mister bottle
- X-PressIt Blending Cardstock
- Additional card stock to mount
- Black adhesive Pearls
- Versamark Watermark ink pad
- Black embossing powder
- Stamps from Tim Holtz:Branches U1-1542 & Journey
- Copic Markers: V17 & G
What I did:
- Half fill Mini-Mister with Blender ink and make sure cap is firmly tightened.
- Colour directly onto the rubber stamp (Branches) using Copic markers (don't worry about being too precise here as it really won't matter).
- Trim X-PressIt card stock to required size and place on a non-absorbant surface (like a craft mat or baking paper), spritz 3 times with Mini-mister and moving quickly, mist Copic coloured stamp with Mini-mister (the more blender ink you spritz on - the more 'misty' the final result).
- Quickly stamp image onto still damp card, remove stamp and let image dry.
- Stamp 'Journey' using Versamark ink pad and emboss with black embossing powder (use heat gun to set).
- Mount onto co-ordinating card and embellish with black adhesive pearls.
