Hello there, Michelle here and I am delighted to be back today to share another card with you. Today I am using the adorable Set Of Unicorns stamp set (coordinating CUT IT OUT DIES available HERE) along with the Unicorns Sentiments set. (coordinating CUT IT OUT DIES available HERE)
These unicorns are so adorable!
I started off by stamping one of them from the set of four with black ink and then coloured her using Copic Markers. I added glitter to her hair because all unicorns have sparkly hair don’t they?! I fussy cut her out but there is a Cut It Out die set that you could use to do that without the fuss!
I created a background for my unicorn by cutting circle dies from card stock and vellum. I used the circles to create clouds and then created a frame to add on top. I die cut a rainbow from white card stock and coloured it with Copic Markers. I popped this behind the clouds. They were added to an A2 white card base and I added the circle frame with foam tape, along with the unicorn. The fabulous sentiment from the Unicorns Sentiments set was stamped on the card base with black ink. To finish off, I added confetti to give more of a magical look!
Thank you so much for visiting the blog today. See you next week!
Thanks so much,
Michelle xx

It’s Monday again, but that’s okay, because it’s also Marker Geek Monday! Today I’ve got a quick post for you highlighting one of great things about Copic markers (and other alcohol based markers too, really).
When colouring the last release, I found myself changing my mind a few times while colouring some of the images. One of the cool things about Copic markers is that for the most part it is relatively simple to go back and make changes.
Stamp Set: Stamping Bella Squidgy and Teddy rubber stamp set (coordinating dies also available)
When colouring this image I gave the Squidgy girl black shoes, then decided that they were a little distracting since I hadn’t used black anywhere else on the image. To help remedy this, I went back over the teddy bear’s nose with dark grey and black markers, covering the brown I had originally used, then used the colourless blender to create a brighter highlight.
Stamp Set: Stamping Bella Squidgy Easter Trio rubber stamp set (coordinating dies also available)
As you can see in the video above, I left the middle girl’s dress until the end at which point I decided I wanted a brighter yellow than the one I had initially chosen for the eggs. When I coloured the dress the eggs ended up looking way too dull in comparison, so I went back over them with the brighter yellow to help them work with the colour of the dress.
The lesson? If you’re working with Copics and decide you don’t quite like the colour choices you’ve made, it is worth trying to “fix” things rather than just ditching all your work and starting from scratch. In fact, this goes for most mediums. Work with your mistakes and see what you can learn – you might discover a colour combo you wouldn’t previously have tried, or a property of the medium that you hadn’t considered previously.
Let’s talk colour! Get in touch via the comment section and let me know what you thought of this post. Also feel free to post any colouring questions you would like answering.
If you are posting your images online, we would love to see them on Instagram and all the platforms mentioned above. To make it easier for us to find you just use #markergeekmonday and/or #stampingbella as a hashtag. Even better tag me @markergeek and @stampingbella . We love it when you connect, so don’t be shy.
