Andrea's Scraps

Posts Tagged ‘copics’

I’ve been busy with the Ippity and Unity stamps these days. Cards, scrapbook pages, altered stuff, you name it! It’s all FUN because I’m stamping!

Ippity and Unity make it easy to stamp. Just place the red rubber stamp onto an acrylic block, ink it up and away you go! You’re a stamper now! It’s fun to watch people stamp for the first time. They’re so tentative and gentile. Rubber is so rugged that it’s doubtful they could hurt a red rubber stamp! With the exception of chemicals or sharp objects, rubber stamps are very good about holding their own!

I’ve been playing with some new stamps from Unity and Ippity, giving them a “Spring” feel to the cards that I’m using them on. The first is a real Easter/Spring-y type of card using the colors of the season. The bunny and egg-shaped die cut is also a giveaway! The 2nd card is a “Spring is coming soon” type of card. The weather has been quite cool recently in South FL, but much more so in the rest of the US. Don’t despair, Spring IS coming!

Can you tell from this card that I’ve been practicing using Copic markers?

I had the opportunity to learn last weekend from a fresh student of the Copic Certification Class in Sarasota who was super generous with her time (thanks Fran!). She had such great tips and really filled in some of the questions that I had from the blog and just practicing myself.

I’m addicted to Copic markers.

Sigh, there are worse things than stamps, paper and Copics right? Please shake your head, “yes Andrea”…

I just had to ink up this recent DoodleFactory set “Arctic” from Starving Artistamps for a couple reasons.

1. It’s been flippin’ cold out and even though it hasn’t snowed, it sure has been colder for a longer period of time since I moved here.

2. The Winter Olympics are on in Vancouver!

3. I wanted to join a card swap on FL Stampers where the theme was “winter scene”. Do you think this qualifies??

Guess what? Another great sheet of rubber from Heather at Faerie Song Art Stamps!

This time, we’re going under the sea to those mythical mermaid creatures. Gretchen Raisch-Baskin is the artist that has added her own special touch to Magical Mermaids, the 8 1/2″ x 11″ sheet of red rubber stamps. I had a lot of fun using Copics markers to color in the details of the ocean and mermaids. It was a great opportunity to practice blending, which you’ll probably be able to tell here and there.

Take a look and I hope you like them!
