MATCHING COLORS

For those of you out there who would like to try a little something different for coloring in those fine-line drawings on some of Stampin' Up!'s stamp sets, you may want to try out COPIC MARKERS. They are alcohol based, which means that they are much easier to blend. There is also a colorless blender pen that can be used to blend lighter and darker colors for nice gradation. These markers may be purchased at various Internet storefronts. I would recommend ELLEN HUTSON or Eclectic Paperie.

Based on lots of feedback and color swatches with stampin' friends, the following Copic Colors are purely a suggested list that may compliment Stampin' Up! In Colors. The following color suggestions are completely subjective and open for interpretation, but I think you will be pleased:
Pink Pirouette -RV000
Tangerine Tango - YR18 or YR09
Kiwi Kiss - YG95, YG93 or YG03
Riding Hood Red - E07 or R37
Baja Breeze - BG72
Pacific Point B37 or B06

I hope this is helpful for those of you who would like to try a different technique for coloring. Copic Markers have been around for a long time, and are the preferred marker of most artists worldwide. Have fun!
