LOVE the copic coloring hop! Best thing(s) I learned were the variety of media one can use with copics and the texture towel with blender refill! I think I'm supposed to say my favorite technique or something but i can't choose so I'm saying what I learned -- I loved Sherry's bright pop of poppy with the more vintage papers -- everyone had something different going on and that was very cool!

ReplyDeleteI love doing your hops-I'm very new to using the the copics so I don't have any tips. Thanks for being in the hop.
ReplyDeleteWow, Daisy, as I said on my first comment of the hop: EP doesn't have the E-Team, they have the A-Team!!! Your artists never disappoint.
ReplyDeleteI'm a newbie to the world of Copic markers, and to coloring on my card creations. I've been wanting to find a certification class in my area, but haven't had any luck to date. But would love to win some Copics to practice with! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the blog hop and learned so much today. I don't have any tips or tricks because I am new with Copics. I did, however, learn many tips and tricks from the team, today. They each have their own style and I hope to develop my own, also. Here is my blog site with my little creation using my Copics. (the few that I own). http://athomewithjoan.blogspot.com/2011/06/just-swinging-by.html
ReplyDeleteI am new with copic and very excited you are doing this hop. Hope to drink in lots of inspiration.
ReplyDeleteLove this blog hop and seeing all the different projects done with the copic markers. I own several of them but still in the learning stage, would love to take a class. Thanks for all the tips your E-team have given throughout the bog hop

Each of the demonstrators showed tips and technieques that were well worth reviewing. Starla's advice on following the colours in nature from an image of a real flower was one that I really liked - also colouring the backs of the flowers too. Thanks for having this blog hop on using Copic markers. I have just acquired a set of them and really did not know how to use them. Also, I learned that it is important to choose the right kind of paper to use with Copics so that you don't get the bleed through or the fanning out of colours.
ReplyDeleteI think Linda's card is my fave, but they are all awesome. I love how you can color ribbon too- easy to get a perfect match for whatever you are making!

Loved seeing all the various ways to use the copics - a tip I've read somewhere else that was helpful - if you don't have two shades of color to do light and dark, then just color all over with one color - than re-color just parts of the image with the same color and that will darken that area!
ReplyDeleteI learned a lot about Copics from this hop. I haven't used Copics, so I don't have any tips. All the gals did a beautiful job with color.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a chance to win blog candy and see more wonderful creations using Copic markers. I love the blending with them. They are wonderful to use!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat hop! I wish I could say I had a tip or a favorite Copic technique, but the fact of the matter is, I don't have any Copic markers---yet, that is.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous cards your team has shown us here today! I am very new to Copics and wish I could learn hands-on from someone live in person! I think using the right paper is very imoportant and to start with the lighter colors and work darker. My best tip is, Get some of these at the discounted prices while you can gals!

ReplyDeleteso many cool ideas. Honestly I am not always so inspired by the blog hops but this one was really cool because I had no desire to ever own/use a Copic and now I am thinking about it…..
ReplyDeleteThanks for the New E-Team Blog Hop! I learned a lot. My tip is get a Copic marker color chart and as you add to your marker stash, color in the new Copics and carry the chart with you when you shop! It will also help when coloring your cards because you can tell at a glance what goes or complements each color.
ReplyDeleteThis blog hop was so interesting. Great tips and ideas from all the artists.
ReplyDeleteI liked the tip from Latrice on how to add texture to the tree.
Thank you so much such a fun hop! :)

ReplyDeleteI haven't used copics and had resolved I would not start another collection of coloring supplies. But, today, I would say "So much for resolutions!" This is a great hop with so many helpful tips for using the copics and I think I will have to give them a try. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteReading directions helps so much.. NOW that I've finished hopping and viewing and being FLOORED and BLOWN away.. I want to add more copics to my mere collection of 10.
ReplyDeleteI learn something new at each blog and I've attended a copic class last year, so that says a lot.
My favorite "technique" with copics is the shadowing and intensifying the color on an image. They blend so nicely.
Love these hops and always learn new things...I especially liked the way Broni used little dots of color it made for some interesting texture...these ladies are very talented and I enjoy each one of them
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love love love copics. My fav e thing to do is color my ribbons and embellies with them I can coordinate with my papers. I use the ABS 2 to spray my white primas to add color.
ReplyDeleteThanx for the chance to win. Your DT is really amazing!

You guys just have the most awesome hops! I have yet to use a Copic marker! I know, what am I waiting for? LOL!
ReplyDeleteGreat hop. Iris
ReplyDeleteThank you for this hop. I missed the first and am on my way to check it out. I am just starting to build my copic supply so the tutorials are fabulous. Thank you again.
ReplyDeleteas usual, fully enjoyed my visit with your team! Thanks for all the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteSandra ltb
thank you for showing all of the wonderful things that copics can do. and here i thought they were just for coloring! thank you for the showcase!
ReplyDeleteI have been taking some Copics classes and have been learning the art of shading. I adore Copics and love working with them! Learning how to color hair has been the most challenging, but when you get it right it is such an accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteWonderful blog hop w/loads of inspiration! Thank you! This is one of my favorite Copic designs, http://tinyurl.com/3vybb4y
ReplyDeletei don't have any Copics, or any other alcohol markers..... yet. i would love to get some since i see such great coloring w them. i'm green w jealosy.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the blog hop. I loved Latrice's tip on adding texture & Micki had some great tips about using Copics with different papers.
ReplyDeleteThis was a great blog hop!! I was so pleasantly surprised by the team's talent and have mire than a few new blogs that I will follow now. Thanks for all those great copic tips.
ReplyDeleteTruly enjoyed the hop and learned soooo much! I am a newbie with the coloring so I really enjoyed all the tutorials. Really don't have a tech to share as of yet but learned a lot from these tutorials.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful blog hop! I think my favorite thing I am learning about Copic markers is using feathering more effectively. Thanks for sharing and for a chance to win a wonderful blog candy.
ReplyDeleteLoved all of the copic projects. Beautiful coloring. Thanks to the E-Team.
ReplyDeletei so enjoyed this copic coloring blog hop, thanks for the inspiration. i learned quite a bit from all the designers :)
ReplyDeleteGreat blog hop! It was interesting to see the favorite inks and papers that people use with Copics. Right now I use Memento black ink but I may venture and try the Adirondack inks in the softer colors. I never thought to use kraft paper and found I like the look.
ReplyDeleteI love hoe the color builds with each layer when using Copics. I can use a light touch and add more as I go.
ReplyDeleteVery fun and informative hop! I learned some new tips for trying out with my Copics! Loved Broni's technique of adding the dots for a texture and shading.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tip on using Copics is to invest in a good assortment of colors to blend! So to start out, get a light, medium and a dark in a color.

I am so new to paper crafting and have been so pleased to partake of the "blog hop". I have enjoyed all the creativity of the E-Team and their tips and tutorials. The tips on how to begin, and enhance with the markers is something I needed.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun hop, sure learned a lot along the way! The DT did a fabulous job on their creations, all were so inspiring! I don't have any tips of my own but I see that more and more people are blending by "flicking" rather than coloring in a circular motion. Thanks for the chance to win!
