Copic Color Combo Ideas and coloring denim...

Today, I thought I would share a compilation of some copic color combo ideas that I have come across on my Internet browsing travels.

The Color Me Copic blog has a great video tutorial on coloring denim done by The Amazing AMY my personal copic hero!!! I decided to color a little denim myself. For my example image, I chose a stamp from the Miss Anya Hats Off collection by The Greeting Farm. I probably should have worked with full jeans instead of a denim skirt but I still like the look. Amy shows a very neat trick using the colorless blender solution to add denim texture to your image. I need to find myself a denim swatch to use for that. I have added some white detailing to my images using a White Sharpie Poster Paint Fine tip pen.













Many online stores offer copic bundles with pretty good pricing. I like that they take the guess work out of choosing colors. Some of the ones that have caught my eye recently when I was browsing the Splitcoast Stampers site were The Stamp Room and Make It Crafty. I thought I would take a minute to share the color combos they offer in case any one is in need of color suggestions.
