This past Sunday night I went with Sue Farrant and some other lovely ladies to a technique based COPIC marker class in Pitt Meadows.  The class was offered through “Be Creative!” – a wonderful stamping supply store in Pitt Meadows.  It was taught by Marianne Walker, a graphic designer who works for COPIC. Check out her blog – she is amazing! We played a lot with what the markers can do and I coloured in this stamp:

It was a lot of fun and despite my initial frustration with the markers, I bought this group of markers:

Last night I played with them and created this card (picture courtesy of Tris Hussey):

I totally cased this design from Michelle Zindorf. I fell in love with it when I first visited her site. She uses Prismacolor markers to colour in the owl in her tutorial but I used my COPICs instead. The stamp is from a set called Yoo Hoo! from Firecracker Designs by Pamela. Here is the full recipe for the card:

Stamps: Firecracker Designs by Pamela’s Yoo Hoo!, Stampendous Marble Texture Cube
Inks: SU! Classic – Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy, Night of Navy, and Craft – Basic Black

Thanks for checking it out – I will be posting more after I play with them a bit.  Have a great day!
