Poinsettias, Anyone?
This card features the poinsettias stamp from the Christmas plate over at I Brake for Stamps. Image was stamped and embossed with gold EP on a coated shimmery paper and was coloured in with Copic markers. I found that Copics work better on a more absorbent paper. I think because of the coating on the shimmery paper, Copic acted more like acrylic paint than alcohol base pens. they still render a beautiful result as you can see here, ha! But if you are looking for a smoother application, do it on a non-coated stock. This is just my 2-pence worth.

Wow! I just love your presentation of poinsettias! I haven't been brave enough to try those yet this year. ***sigh***
You're precisely corrent, Manna!
Copic Markers work much more efficiently and smoothly on a matte-finish cardstock. To me, it seems as though the Copics "slip & slide" around on a polished cardstock. I do use such cardstock on occasion .. but I'm selective as to what I'll be doing with the Whisper White, etc.
Happy Thursday to you!
