I'm trying my hand with Copics. I usually do watercoloring with a brush but decided to give this a try.
I think I am going to enjoy them and will try to practice and watch tutorials so I can get better and better.
My card is to honor Julie aka UKJEM on Splitcoaststampers. She has a beautiful gallery of cards and I chose to case this one. Mine certainly has more color than hers but I did mostly keep her sketch.

Beautiful card Benzi. Thank you for joining us at Speedy's Friends.
that crinkled ribbon is such an elegant finishing touch to a beauty of a card...love your Copic coloring...fabulous
How beautiful, Benzi! I just love your bright colors and the FABULOUS crinkled ribbon and bow. Enjoy your snow! I hope you get just enough to enjoy your cozy goodies, but not too much. :)
This is so pretty! I love the sponging and water coloring on your image panel - so pretty! That ribbon is gorgeous too!
Your card is stunning and love the colors of the flowers.
Thanks for sharing it with us at Speedy's Friends.
This is gorgeous!! Those flowers are just popping with that burst of red color! Love the crinkled ribbon/bow too! Beautifully done!
I too am just learning how to use the Copics, and I learned that the paper you use makes all the difference in the world with blending colors!
We're supposed to get heavy snow late tomorrow, so I'll be heading to the store in the morning to get my milk & bread. No wait! I have milk & bread already! LOL I'll go to the craft store instead and buy something with my 50% off coupon and stay indoors and stamp :) Stay warm!!
Beautiful, love that crinkled ribbon!
Thanks for playing with Speedy's Friends!
Just stopped by to thank you for the super sweet comment on my card today! It made me smile :)
Such a pretty card. Lovely image... the cringkled ribbon looks awesome. :o)
This is so beautiful. Great combination of flower power pizzaz and the neutral scrunchy ribbon. The ribbon texture and the mental texture of the poppies - much the same - great compliment to one another.
Benzi, This is absolutely beautiful!! I love the bold flower color with the fabulous ribbon. :)
Fab card Benzi, love your ribbon flourish and great job with your pansies ... but be warned, copics are VERY addictive and you NEVER have enough LOL!
A lovely CASE of Julie's card, Benzi. And you're doing beautifully with your Copic coloring! They really do require practice, don't they? When I drag mine out, I am still a little stymied about where to put certain colors.
