Hey folks! Elaineabella here with another Marker Geek Monday post to kick off a week of colouring fun.
If you missed last week’s post, check it out – Marker Geek Monday #TheDailyMarker30Day Round Up with Videos and Colour Maps – lots of colouring inspiration and info within, and a handy link list of all the Marker Geek Monday posts so far!
I would also like to draw your attention to a recent post over on my own Marker Geek blog which you might find useful. Click through to check it out (after you’re done here of course 😉 ): Create Quick Easy Texture using Copic Colourless Blender. The post features Stamping Bella Hula Chick and includes a step by step guide and video demonstrating one of the texturing methods I discussed in my Marker Geek Monday Basic Fur Colouring with Copic Markers post.
Today I’m sharing a step by step guide and video showing how I colour curly hair on stamps like our fabulous EDNA. There are also a number of Uptown Girls, Tiny Townies and Bellas that this approach would work for. It’s just a nice easy way to colour curly hair on your stamp images.
Watch the video below or in HD over on Youtube.
Here is a full Copic Colour Map for the Edna Needs a Martini colouring featured in the video. Remember that if you purchase Stamping Bella stamps you can obtain colour maps for the versions shown on the product packaging – go HERE to find out how to do that. Between those and the bonus colour maps featured here on the blog, you can build up a great library of colour combinations to try out with your own Copic collection.
You can watch all of my colouring videos featuring Stamping Bella stamps in the playlist below or in HD over on YouTube. Subscribe to my Marker Geek channel so you don’t miss out on future videos!
If you try out the techniques shown in this post with your Stamping Bella stamps, be sure to share! We would love to see the results and hear how you feel about them. Show off your creations in the comments below and even better, share your own favourite tips with us. Let’s talk colour!

I only have a few Copics so I can’t do it with those but I do have other markers that have shades of colors so I could try it with them. Thanks for the info! I didn’t know you had another blog until recently, I thought this was the only one. I’ll have to go on there too. Someday I will get more Copics and learn to use them correctly. I know they aren’t like your basic markers.
thanks for the tips!
Thanks so much for sharing! I just keep watching and learning! Love these videos and tips you are sharing! 🙂
