This image is chock full of wrapped peppermint candies. I colored the candy stripes with a Copic Sketch R29 red color and then finished up the twisted wrappers with a Copic Sketch BG11 color. To make the candies shiney, I added Ranger Glossy Accents. My image is cut and layered with Spellbinders Square and Scalloped Square Nesties die templates.
For some fun finishing touches, I cut Papertrey Rustic Snowflake patterned paper into strips and adhered them to my card front at a diagonal....keeping with my peppermint stripes theme. Finally, I took my same R29 Sketch marker and drew a red line down a long strip of white satin ribbon. It looks just like peppermint candy, don't you think? Love that look!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 386 of 386I love the peppermint wreath. Copics are great. I only wish I had more colors. I'm a collector. I love that Copic markers allow you to blend so easily. Thanks for the chance to win.
I just recently started my collection of Copics and only have a handful. My techinque is not anywhere near "perfected" but I love learning each time I use them. I would loive the chance to win 12 more colors!
I just broke down and bought my first couple - the ones needed to color in the santa image in PTI's Holiday Button Bits. I know it isn't a special reason or one that'll make me "win" but I am so in love with the way they blend. Stamping makes me feel creative, but coloring with Copics makes me feel like an artist! Thanks for a chance to win
congrats on making the team. love my sketch and spica copics. I use them on cards mostly and color my stamped images.
Besides being such a huge fan of you Mish.. I am a fellow Kansian~ Hopefully new instructors are coming to the Mid-West!!!
When I was new to copics, and only had them for a short time, I fixed chips on some pottery.. here's the link to what I did to fix some dishes that I love.
http://thewiredangel.blogspot.com/2009/05/check-this-out.html
I love the way you can add color to deepen, blend or even change the color with copic markers. i also enjoy coloring ribbons, buttons or other medium.
I'm new to the Copic as a user, we sell them in the LSS I manage but I never really used them for anything other than inking the edges of my paper until... I took the Copic certification class in Grand Rapids, MI with Marianne and my EYES were opened to the possibilities. I got to play with the airbrushing and I think that with that in hand - anything that didn't run away would be colored, LOL!!!! I would love a chance to win some markers of my very own or the airbrush system to use with my classes I'm developing to teach and addict others to the wonders of Copic! Thank you Copic and Marianne.
At AU$13.00 each Copics were a big investment to me. I really struggled to justify why i neede such expensive markers to my hubby so........i didn't!!!!!! but ssshhhhhhhhhh don't tell him!!! her just thinks they are regualr markers that i have a strange affection to! and ,yes i do love my Copic markers a little to much and maybe i should have cooked the family dinner rather than colouring images(LOL)but there should be an warning on the markers somewhere that says...WARNING...family members may go hungry when in use...and then a 13 number of the local pizza takeaway! but may family get fed most nights!!!!LOL!!!
I just admire the work that you do with the Copics, it is amazing. I love to color, but don't have any Copics yet. I am trying to save some money, but I keep buying the stamps that I want to color..it's just a vicious circle...HA HA!(does anyone even say HA HA anymore or is is LOL...can you tell I don't even know how to text!) Thanks for all of the inspiration, and I hope someday to "color" like you do with COPICS!
I love my copics and I learn something new everytime I use them. I really NEED an air brush system so thanks for the chance to win. Also I love your website and visit it daily!
Love that peppermint wreath card, so creative! Copics are so wonderful for bringing stamped images to life. I only have a few ciao markers, but they are so versatile and easy to use. I love that even a beginner can look like a pro with the ease of blending, and the fact that they are refillable makes it a wise investment. I'd love to try out that airbrush system!!
~Rachel in Sacramento
Copic Markers are great! The colors are nice and they blend so well. I've colored some amazing images using Copic Markers - everyone's always so impressed with how nice my images look!
Omg your candy wreath card is truly eye candy! Wow, this Copic blog hop has been great! Everyone brings something different to share. I have been dying to take a local Copics class. They fill up so quickly! It is amazing how the colors blend, and the images are so vibrant, jumping off the page. I'll need to be brave and purchase a few colors and get started!
Being 70 years old and with sore hands, I find the Copic originals just my cup of tea! My coloring is smoother, faster, and a real pleasure to do...can't wait to add to my collection! The tutorials are soooooo helpful. Thank you for the ideas and inspiration.

I am a Copic-holic ! I started the obsession last November and I can't satisfy the craving ! I love my Sketch markers the best because of the way they blend so effortlessly on my stamped images .The Copic Airgun is just another obsession I would LOVE to use !
I am still learning to love my copics. There is definitely a process involved in this. I know that I will master them some day. But until then, practice, practice, practice.
thanks much
Love the stripe on the ribbon! One of my favourite things about Copics is being able to colour ribbon and brads and flowers and things to match. You only ever need to buy white ribbon, with Copics around.
I love my copics for just about everything. I love dyeing ribbon with it. I often order white knowing I can colour it with Copics.
Copics are truly amazing pens that add such dimension and style to paper crafting projects!!
I have recently starting using copics and love them because they make colouring so easy! Having not studied art at school and being only new to stamping I can use all the help I can get and copics are very user friendly. The fantastic colour range ensures you are always able to find the right colour for your project!
Michelle,
I am anxious to get some copics in my hands and try them. In the meantime I drool over blogs that feature them. They are really hard to find here in Hawaii so if you pick me you could change my artistic life!
Oooo...I just read TN Granny's comment about getting some on ebay.
Copics are crayolas for big girls! I love being able to colour and shade just like I did as a kid - except, this time, they don't break nor need sharpening! The best thing ever is introducing my god-daughters to the world of Copic with Ciaos. They draw cute manga chibis and then have the best time colouring. I prefer Copic classic (square heads) but love the subtlety of the triple & quad 0's of Sketch.
I love to color now that I have found copics. I used to avoid images that needed coloring and now it's all I do! I love to see what I can do with my copics and I just love the blending capabilities and the fun shadowing I can make. I am addicted to the blending pen and love that the sketch marjers enable my organization side with the numbers on their ends.
Oh, Michelle, your work is so beautiful and so inspiring (you make me want to go to my crafting space). I aspire to learn to use the Copics as well as all of you on the Copic design team.
Michelle beautiful work as always. Thanks for the inspiration
Really, what's not to love about Copic markers? I love to use mine -- they make me like coloring again and I didn't think that would ever happen! I resisted buying them for a long time . . . if only I'd known what I was missing. After I tried them, I had to have them!
I just recently started with Copic markers after seeing so many bloggers make beautiful projects with them! I use mine for cardmaking and stamping but have a long way to go and many more to purchase to have the great blending abilities that many bloggers have! I have been learning a lot from other bloggers on how to blend with them. The colors are so vibrant with these markers. I currently have a small set of sketch markers, but need more for the blending affect to work better.
I love my Copics and I love to color my images with them. I have seen many beautiful things created with the ABS-1 system and would love to be able to try my hand at that!
I own about 30 COPIC markers and love them. They are therapy for me. I find it very relaxing to sit and color with a bunch of images and my COPICs. Now, I need to take a class to improve my skills.
I love your use of Copic markers! I am a complete novice when it comes to Copic markers, I have NONE and I don't know where to start. Winning a set would be fantastic, it would give me a starting point. Thank you for the chance to win!!
I'm dreaming for so long of this copics! If I win I'll made allI can dream on!
Congratulations Mish!
I am slowly collecting copics. I use them mostly for coloring, but you inspired me to color some ribbon last weekend. LOVE that idea!
I have been using Copics for almost a year; and did the certification in Brampton in March.
They are absolutely great and so much can be done with them and the airbrush system. Marianne's blog is awesome with all the tips, techniques and ideas.
I wish I had copics so I could get a better depth of color and detail to my images.
That's such a cute card! I love the wreath!
Copics are my new fascination. I just bought seven of them from an Australian supplier and am eagerly looking for information and tutorials around the web. I am very impressed with the markers and would love a chance to expand my range!
Thanks for the chance to win some more :)
Mish,
This is awesome.. I am always thrilled at teh generosity Copic exhibits with everyone..
Michelle
I love your cards!! I'm so happy I found your blog.
I have not had the chance to try the Copic's yet, so thank you for the chance to win.
I've been wanting Copics for so long, but I have been out of work because of health problems and we just can't afford them. I follow so many blogs specifically to look for images colored with Copics, I love how you can use the different colors together, shade them the way you want and make them as vibrant as you want. I always try to get stamps I can color, I usually use watercolor pencils... Copics are still just dream for me.
As usual your cards are gorgeous... you girls at PTI are the best!
whow Mish another great copic coloured card, I am slowly adding to my sketch copic collection, I'm still fairly new to this phenomenon but am really enjoying the learning process, a copic airbrush system is next on my wish list I love how it shades around an image,my greatest love so far is being able to colour skin, these markers are the greatest for skin tones LOVE IT
Hello Michelle! Congratulations on becoming Regional!! Such exciting things happening for Copic and for you!
My latest favorite way to use my Copic Markers is air brushing!! I've been having such a ball since I picked up my ABS1 two weeks ago.
My husband and I went out and got a air compressor last night - my own. I don't have to share with him :o). I'm out of air brushing control. :o)
Take care and STAY POSITIVE!
I love my Copic's and can't wait to add to my collection! They are surprisingly easy to use. I had some preconceived notions about them and was really hesitant to take the plunge. I had markers and just would make do with what I had. Then I attended the GASC and went to a booth that was doing a make & take with the Copics. I sat down and the teacher told me about the Copics and why she used them and loved them and once I tried them I was hooked! They are easy to use, easy to blend and the colors are just wonderful. They make a bold statement on any project and give a beginner like myself the ability to produce projects that look like art! Now I find that I am using my stamps more so that I can color with my Copifs!
I only have a few copics, but just ordered all the spicas. And the air brush in on my wish list for Christmas.
I have a few copics and I just love them! I've been seeing so many new techniques to do with them that I'm just dying to try! Thanks for the chance to win... your blog is one of my top favs!
I finally gave in to Copics after PTI started carrying them. I'm SLOWLY adding colors. I'm still getting the hang of them, but the beautiful way they color is awesome. My only wish is that I could afford as many as I want!
I love working with my Copics and use them on cards, notebooks all kinds of papercraft. I have 72 of the Copic Ciao Markers which are the A pack would dearly love to own more and I will eventually as I now find it hard to use anything else!!!
Love these!! I feel in love by seeing Debbie Olsen. I left my story there.
I just recently joined the 'Copic Craze' in the past month and currently own 20 markers. I plan on taking a Copic 101 class at my local stamping store this month. There is NO equal to the beauty of the results you get from Copics....NONE!
Thanks for the chance to win :-)
I love seeing all the wonderful projects made using copics. I have a few of these wonderful markers...I would love to be able to take a class on using copics. Thank you for the chance to win!
Congrats for becoming part of the Copic team. I love all my Copics and wouldn't live without them. I love all your projects and look at your blog everyday. Thank you for sharing all your ideas with us.
You never have enough of Copics.
As a busy stay at home mom of three I haven't had a chance to really use copics. But, I love, love, love the blog posts that I regularly check out and all my favorites use copic markers for coloring. I would love to win some so I could learn to color like a pro!
I’ll start by admitting my love for everything Copic! I had started hearing about Copics, but they weren’t as popular on all the blogs, stores, etc. as they are today. I purchased my first set and was thrilled – it looked like I could actually color! I was amazed because I wasn’t the type of crafter looking for images to color. My first image had me hooked and I was so excited I…no, I didn’t run out and purchase stamps to color, I purchased more copics. Then I “needed” the ABS and the Spica markers and the multiliners. I made charts of what I had and I made wish lists of all the colors I still wanted. I played with the couple of images I had to color and was happy. Then, through blogs like Michelle’s and Debbie’s and Ellen’s I knew I had to have more images to color. So, I stocked up on those and soon realized I needed more colors of my Copics to achieve the look (or at least have a fighting chance to achieve the look) of my favorite bloggers. So, here I am with a Copic wish list as long as when I started because the more you use these amazing markers the more you want…need…covet! So, I would have to say my favorite is the Copic Sketch marker because, while I love the accessories and all the neat techniques that one can try with the ABS, the reinkers, etc., my true love is the amazing Copic marker!
Thanks for asking! Karen U

I've tried them out the Expo, but I don't own any yet. Thanks for the chance to win.
Love the card Mish! Who doesn't love their copic markers! I use mine for cards and scrapbooking. I add a lot of stamped images to my scrapbooks and there isn't any better way to get vibrant color then with copics. Ooohhh I would love to add some more colors. Thanks for a chance to win.
I love love LOVE LOVE the candy wreath you colored!! I also love love LOVE LOVE Copic!! I would someday love to have all the colors. I think they are the BEST to color stamped images. My first Copic marker was E00 - and I told myself that was the ONLY one I was going to buy because I didn't need more markers. Well...that was the start of my "wonderful" Copic Addiction :)
ooohhhhhhh C-O-P-I-C! How I love thee, let me count thy ways....
As I tell my children, "These are mommy's grown up markers." They are amazing. I started out with the Ciao and am slowly filling in with the sketch. I just love using them to color in stamped inmages. They really make coloring for grown ups fun!
I am totally in love with copics. I started using them when I bought some Magnolia stamps from Magnolia-licious with Diana Crick, and she introduced me to coloring these images with copics. LOVE them!!
I CAN NOT GET MY COMMENT TO MARIANNE-CAN YOU PLEASE PASS THIS ON-THANK YOU.
Marianne, Your blog hop is a hoot. What a great way to meet your new team and see Copics. I have tried the techniques and am able to now get the most out of my markers. I like to color bright and my Copics let me color loud! I would now like to move on to pastels. Softening my stamped images with these light colors will open up my world...exciting.
The copic markers are a must in my studio. I use them to add dimension and depth to my stamping and other art work and find them to be the best markers available! I only buy a few of them at a time and could really benefit from increasing my supply! :-)
I hadn't heard of Copic markers until recently and want to try them!! I have reserched them, watched tutorials on you tube and am just fascinated. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
I only have a few copics - I buy them one at a time as a little "treat". Wish I had them all though. I'd love to be able to blend more. But for now, little treats they are. Lisa L.
I LOVE your candy wreath card! It looks so realistic!!!!! You are so talented! I have been following your work with Papertrey. I LOVE my copic markers! They allow me to continue my love for coloring that started when I was a child! I hope one day to have them all, and I hope to learn to use them as well as you and others whose blogs I visit!! Thanks for your inspiration!!!
The candy wreath is gorgeous! Love the shine to the mints and the ribbon is oh so perfect!
Copics!! Oh, I love them! When I discovered Copic markers I was a little apprehensive, but once I tried them, I was hooked! The colors are rich and vibrant and when I received a card one year for Christmas that had been colored with Copics, I swore it was a store bought card! The colors are perfect!
I have fallen in love with the Copic markers and will never use another marker again to color in my images! They blend so beautifully they make you feel like a real artist!
I LOVE this card Michelle!! So CUTE!! and copics.. how do I even BEGIN!! I started buying them after seeing the BEAUTIFUL work all you PTI girls did... and I cant STOP! I LOVE them.. LOVE the colors, the quality of them.. the way they blend..oh my... I could go on and on!! :)
Gorgeous cards! I really enjoy my Copic markers. They are such a high-quality product, and make for professional looking results every single time. I love to make cards, and I find myself drawn more and more to Copics as my medium of choice to create my cards. My friends and family are constantly amazed by what I can do with them, and I'm really just a self-taught creator (who hopes to take a certification class!). I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Copics to anyone...
The main thing I love about Copics is all the colors they come in. You can find a color to match anything. I only have about 70 colors so far but I add to my collection every chance I get. I don't get to practice coloring as much as I would like but I color every chance I get. I would love to take some classes and get certified if possible. These are the best markers ever!
WooHoo ~ Congrats Michelle!!
I love Copics! I first used them in So. Cal ~ Joy brought her Copics to our friend Jami's home to share. Leeanne had been to a class and was helping us understand the number system and how to use them. I fell in love! I currently use them mainly to color stamped images but would love to learn about the air gun and how to use it.
I have never used Copics but they look so beautiful. I've resisted adding another obsession (expense) to my crafting habit but I may to break down soo given the quantity and quality of the work I've been seeing lately.
I love the results that are achieved with coloring with Copics. I recently purchased a couple of Copics after seeing all the beautiful projects created with them. I look forward to adding to my collection and learning how to use them. Would love to try the airbrushing!
Congratulations, woman! One of the COPIC coloring queens! woo hoo for you! I have been putting my sig other through school the last several years and so have limited my purchases. Alas, I could be drool over your's and Deb's wonderful creations and tried to repeat with my Primsacolor pencils! Graduation was this past summer and I do feel a COPIC purchase coming on...buy me, take me, show me, give me, that's all I know! ;-) Your creativity with or without a market just amazes me! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, the corner with the diagonal cut paper stitched in place and the ribbon with the bright red line all designed to mimic candy canes! woo hoo! You rock!
Wow Mish! I follow you on PTI, now I can see even more of your great work! I am new to Copics, I use the Sketch markers, and I love them!! I had just about given up on markers and then I saw these! I'm so glad I decided to give them a try. The colors are vibrant and beautiful and blend so easily, even for a novice like me. Thanks for the chance to add some new colors to my still small collection.
This is a gorgeous card!!
Ever since I started using copics all of my coloring supplies have been pretty much neglected. I just love how the blending and colors work. The are so easy to use and make your image just pop! The airbrushing is a great tool and really love using it.
Thanks so much for all of the inspiration that you give us! Your blog is so informative-I learn something every single day!! I don't have a lot of Copics yet, but the ones that I have are the sketch. I love being able to shade and blend the colors! Even a novice can make great designs.
Thanks, again!
Linda
Having discovered Copics nearly 3 years ago - I haven't looked back. These are the best investment I've made for my craft since I started stamping over 15 years ago!! The blendability and control you get from those brush nibs are beyond anything you can imagine!! Copics offer the largest variety of true pastels around - an absolute must for shading and layering.
I would love to try the air brush system. I just love to color and only have a few colors. I've been trying to buy more colors for blending purposes. I've started beefing up my browns so I can do more animals and my next purchase will be the grays for shading. I love hoe you covered yours with crystal effects sure makes their color pop.
I absolutely love Sketch Copics. I use them to color in lined stamped images for cards and scrapbook pages. I love them because of the smooth way they go unto the paper, they practically blend themselves and make me look good! I can't get enough of them. Just don't tell my husband.
I have the glitter pens and use them every way possible!! I only have a handful of the regular copics because of the price tags shock! But I just love them and use them for all the coloring and righting I do.
I'd love to win some more!!
I have been admiring your work for a long time. I thought I could do the same coloring with the markers I have. Well I was wrong. I finally broke down and bought a couple. All I can say is what took me so long. I am now addicted. I have these on my Christmas wish list. Thanks for an opportunityti win some. I truely appreciate it
I love the glitter pens and wish I had more of the regular pens so I could do the intricate coloring I see on the blogs. I just can't afford them right now, so to win some would be so cool!
I don't own any Copics yet, but I have seen some wonderful coloring. looking forward to getting some in a near future.
Thanks for the chance to win.
God bless
Giovana
Adorable card. Your coloring is fantastic! Congrats on making the Copic DT! You must be so excited. I hope you have loads of fun as a DT member. Thanks for the chance to win some wonderful markers!
Darling card! I love how Copics
bring out the best of any stamp.
When I found out about Copic markers I was hooked. I have mostly sketch markers and a few original. I was excited when I saw bloggers using the colorless blender for effects and decided to buy the blender in the original marker to be able to use the pointed tip. I made continuous dots in rows on a little girls skirt. It looked precious!
Congratulations!!
I would love to win some copic markers...the images colored are amazing...depth of color, shadows, highlights. All of this from copic markers!
Love that wreath - it's too cute, but I LOVE your candy cane striped ribbon even more!! You took that ribbon from ok to super fab with just that one stripe - I will definitely be trying this with my Copics! Love how the Copics work on so many different surfaces!!
Why do I wish I had copics? They're amazing, that's why. I would use them for all of my stamping, papercrafting, journaling needs -- every, single day! I also am thinking of ways that I could use them with my polymer clay work. Not to mention, I am making handmade holiday cards this year (thanks for all of the inspiration, by the way) -- for the first time. My fingers are so crossed, it's amazing I can type.
When I finally took the plunge to purchase some copics there was no going back. They blend beautifully and really make my images look more realistic. The best part is they make me feel like I have a little talent in the art department, all because of the way these markers work together.
I am new to Copics and have a set of Ciao markers that I just love but I really need to take some classes to improve. I am a stamper and just love the realistic look you get using Copics.
Your card is so sweet. Thanks for another chance to win. I'm resorting to begging if that will help at this point, lol. This is sort of off beat of the questions, but my kids and I were talking one day about what would we do if we only had 10 minutes to gather important things and leave our home. Seriously, Copic Markers were on the top of the list. If I had to be gone from my house for an extended time, I would still want to make cards/layouts, etc. and I can't imagine making them without Copic Markers. Copic markers are one of those things that once you use them, you'll never stop. I'm sure I don't have to tell that to anyone that already uses Copic Markers. My collection isn't large but it is growing. I use original, sketch and last but not least, 1 Ciao. Thanks again!
I have never used a copic...I dream...but right now other things are more important. Thanks for the giveaway, hope I win so I can find out first hand how awesome they are! :)
Thanks again!
Jen Watkins
Very cute! Love the glossy accents. I have some of the Copic Sketch markers, but I would love to have more! Thanks for the opportunity to win some.
I use the sketch marker my favorite style to use. That paint brush feeling brings out that inner artist in me! When the marker says it that color it really is that color. I am using the copic to color other items using less other alcohol inks. A good product with good results:)
Your blog rocks, Mish! I love your style and am always inspired when I come to visit. I've been wanting Copics for a long time as I love to color images. I find coloring to be so relaxing. Everything I have seen colored with the Copics is just amazing and I would love to have some of my very own to play with.
I do not currently own any Copics yet but hoping that will change after Christmas. I have been telling everyone in my family about these wonderful markers. I have been watching video after video on You Tube on the techniques of using copics and I am just amazed at the talent out there. I hope to someday take the certification class but time will tell.
I would love to win some markers to get the creative ideas out of my head onto the paper.
I love this blog, you are one talented lady Mish and I cannot wait to come to your blog and check out what you have been working on.
Thanks Chanda
dilksdilks@comcast.net
I want Copics! I want to be able to color with these great markers that everyone is talking about. Pick me!!
I don't own any Copic markers yet (insert sad face here) but I love seeing projects that have been coloured with Copics. I also love the "extras" that you can do with them, that you can't with other colouring mediums, like colour metal, rhinestones, ribbons, etc. They are so versatile and I'd love to try them. Thanks Mish for your fabulous eye candy coloured with Copics!
I love my copic chao marker! I know it's the best marker out there. It colors so smoothly on acetate, bling, paper, metals I won't use any other! I wish and pray to win some pretty please?... thank you for sharing your talent with us!
I love my Copic Markers and I am currently using them to color my Christmas card. I have only been using them for a year and am already hooked. So versitile and so much fun to use!
Congratulations. Your site is a must to visit.
I have 4 Copics and 1 Blender because I had a chance to buy some this past summer. The problem - which ones to buy and now - How do I use them?? I received a card last year that was colored with Copics and we had a lot of discussion on if it was colored or was the picture on the paper to begin with. The surprise came when we were told it was a stamped image and colored with Copics.
So - - that is why I purchased a couple when I had the chance, but my attempt at coloring was not very good. I love the coloring I see from other stampers. What they do is just beautiful. I would love to have some more and hopefully some day get some training up in Northwestern MN. Thanks for the great chance to win some!!
I only have one (C1 for shadowing) but I've got the itch to buy a lot more and have been scoping them out to purchase this whole week. I had a chance to play with them at an Archiver's store. They are so different than what I am used to and I'm excited to try them out more.
When I see what my favorite bloggers/crafters are doing with them, it makes me so jealous. I wanna try too!!
Mish, I have long been admiring your Copic-Colored creations. I just love your style and how easy you make everything look...but, that is what genius is!
I don't currently own any Copics, but sure would love to add them to my craft supplies. This is such a fabulous giveaway~thanks for the chance to win.
The card is beautiful! What a wonderful image and such beautiful
colouring.
I am just starting to play with Copics and can't wait to explore more.
I’ve been a COPIC lurker for a couple years. I didn’t even take the plunge myself. My husband held my hand and gave me some for a gift just a month ago. I’ve been surfing online for all the ways to use them and get better at using them… probably spending WAY more time surfing then I should on practice coloring with them. (I didn’t know there are Colorists. I want to be a Colorist! How cool does that sound!?! Nevermind that I have no color theory that could save me!) I learned the markers can also be used to color embellishments and so when I was making a mask for my Halloween costume, I thought, “Hey, I could use my new COPICs!” (I also tried to use a Sharpie, but it’s NOT the same!). Well, I guess I didn’t wait long enough for it to dry because my husband asked what all the black stuff was on my face… after I had taken the mask off. Well, I’m still surfing on how to use these things, but I also have actually started practicing. Fun times!! “Kids, want to color? Mommy wants to color.”
I am just starting out new with my Copics. I am currently enrolled in Colleen's online class and learning a lot.
Thanks

congrats to you!!
who wouldn't want the Copics?? The colors are outstanding. I was just lookking at the certification information last night, I've been in love with them for so long..... but currently do not have any, since here in Dominican Republic where I live the few Scrapbooking store do not have them I haven't been able to purchase them, I have to order them from the web and I couple of time have try to get them but i can't seem to decide for the 12 or 72 markers (not talk about prices!!!) I sometimes surf between blogs to find offers or giveaway prizes on Copics but really I can't find... or maybe the ones that i've being in do not have.... so you must imagine my surprise when I saw this......well, anyways for me Getting a complete set at once would give me a start! I subscribe to many of groups blogs and am amazed at the beautiful work and how you cand blend colors with is amazing....I'm a card maker and i would love to improve my coloring style with CoPICS!!!! Is the best thing to hit the craft world and for crafterrrr.
hugs,
Thanks for this opportunity!
I don't have any Copics yet, but I've been eying them. I'm just getting into stamping and admire the beautiful results I've seen talented folks achieve. I would love to play, too! :-)
Copics are fantastic! They are easy to use, and they just make any image stand out and become that much more stunning. I am newly becoming aquainted with Copics but I know it's going to be a long lasting relationship :)
I don't have ANY Copic markers, but I would love to win some! The techniques you could do with them are so cool! Thanks for the chance to win!
I use Copic sketch---rarely, but I have a ton of them---I hope to get to a class soon, so I'll feel more comfortable using them---
I love my copic sketch markers. I have so much fun using them for cards and scrapbook pages.
Love that candy wreath so cute.
I wish I could buy Copics, because I see so many gorgeous cards made with them. Unfortunately I just can't afford them right now.
Congratulations to the new team ;0)
What can I say other than it really was love at first sight when my Copic Ciaos arrived very recently in my hands. I can't express enough that even though you may be concerned about the price initially once you have tried them and actually work it out, Copics aren't any ordinary pen they are the 'King' of pens and they are a total investment. They are fabulous and I 'Need' them all! lol
Thank you
Lana from the UK x
I love the wreath! I just only wish I could color as well as you. I've only recently started buying Copics and I love them but I definitely need a lot of practice, more markers, and possibly a class. Thanks for the chance to win!
I love my Copics!! Plain and simple they are the best marker out there! I love the look I achieve and I love that anyone can use them - even non-artists like me! :)
I love my Sketch markers! These markers have brought back my love of coloring! They really make it easy to create such well done artwork and can make even ME look good! I also own a few of the Spica glitter pens that I enjoy. I am interested in trying the air brush sometime. :) Thank you for an opportunity to win!!

I use copic sketch for rubber stamping/making cards. I use the copic sketch and the blender solutions. I love them because of the great colors available and how easy it is the blend them.
MIsh, I'm not in the drawing, but I have to tell you that this card is the cat's pajamas! It rocks!
Lockhart stamps + COPICS = heaven! I love this peppermint wreath! What a cute card!
Mish, you have one of my favorite blogs. I love what you do with the Copic markers. I don't have any and would love to win a set. I would need so direction on how to use them. I have seen amazing work from you and others with the Copics. Congratulations on being on a great team. God bless!

Love that ribbon. Love my Copics. They make colouring a pleasure. One of the nicest things is that they let me fix my mistakes - Nimmy
I think I first became of Copics on your blog right here. I finally bought my first Copics and have made just one project with them so far. i love that you can add depth to images by blending colors and that there are no streaking lines. Now I can't wait to get more. Thanks for the chance to win!
I would love to win some Copic markers. I would like to know more about airbrushing with them also. Thanks for the chance to win some Copic markers!
Gorgeous card!!
Using Copic markers is like holding a rainbow in my hand. Love the way they blend so smoothly and the vibrant colors.
I have mostly Sketch markers with a few of the Ciao style. The brush tips are great for blending!

Have fun on the Copic's team.
I bought the Sketch Copic's and continue to add to the color families. I would prefer winning more Copics to finish some color combinations.
I just ordered my first Copic Sketch markers and I can't wait for them to arrive.
I have been waiting, chomping at the bit, I ordered a 36 piece set!
I'm sure that number will grow in no time at all.
I fell in love with Copics right away and had to have them. They have the most amazing color, so bright amd vivid, they just make you feel good.
Budgets are tight these days, so I have had to wait a while, but it was worth the wait.
My Stamps are ready to go!!
What can I say about Copic markers that I haven't already said on the other 7 blogs. Oh yeah, Copics rock!!!
By the way, congrats to you and I love your cards :)
I would love to have a set to create my Christmas cards this year! I have seen what these fabulous markers can do. They make the image pop out and come alive. How exciting to think that I could be the winner of my very own set. Thanks for sharing and chance to win.
I just purchased my first Copics and I am so excited to learn how to use them and add to my collection soon!
Copics have completely changed my life! I had been using Prisma pencils with gamsol, and was just not satisfied with my finished product. Where was the richness and vitality - nowhere to be found! Then I bought my first few copics....well, there was no stopping me after that first purchase. Every week I would buy a few more, then I had to buy the plastic cases to hold them, then I had to buy refills and replacement nibs. I have just purchased the new set of 12 that are the lightest colors - the only item left is the airbrush! I've told myself that I can purchase the airbrush after the first of the year - perhaps with some Christmas money. Here's wishing for some Christmas money!
Jee Whiz, yo do not know how many different types and brands of markers I have used over the years...try them out they do not give me the quality I want, push them back into the shelf, buy a new brand, try it out not the results I would like to acheive shove those back into the back of the closet, on and on and on! I then discovered Copic Markers. I am so mad I never found these before. If I had I would by now own every color and refill! They are such a professional quality. Blending is awesome. All this is awesome as long as I use Copic marker. Needless to say, I now have given all my other marker sets to my children. They can have them! Me....no way, it is Copics all the way!
Denise Wells
I'm sure you're honored to be asked to be on Copics Team. Their products are second to none and it's amazing what just a little effort and some beautiful copics can create. I have several in my collection now but am certainly leaving a request to Santa to bring me more....a new addiction? A little color in life never hurt anyone.
OOOooo! I like my copic markers very much -- it's so easy to make a plain black and white stamped image really pop! I mostly seem to collect copic sketch markers. I am very interested in the air brush -- I think it would add a lot of depth to my work.
I use Copic markers and LOVE them, because it is such a quick way to get a professional look with vibrant colors or soft shading or anything in between.
Congratulations. You deserve it. Love reading your blog and being inspired with all your creativity. Thanks for the chance to win such amazing markers. I love the fact that these marker blend so easily and that the nibs can be changed and the markers refilled. What else could a person want? Thank you!!!
Congrats!
In all honesty, I didn't think I needed Copics. My husband had a set of Prismacolor Markers from his college days that worked just fine. So why spend my money on Copics? I had markers that worked just as well, right? I had tried Copics at a stamping retreat, saw Debbie Olsen demo them at summer CHA '08 but hey, I had Prismacolor markers so I was good, right? Then one day a friend sent me some copics to play with. I still didn't want to get caught up in the Copic "craze" but hey, free is free and if someone wants to send them to me, I wouldn't say no. So I get the Copics and gingerly try my hand at them expecting the worse. Wait! Is that really my card? Wow, who colored it? Wait... it was me! With Copics! Wow! Look at the difference from the Copics to the Prismas I was using. I am in love with Copics now. My Prismas are gathering dust now as I head right to the small selection of Copics that I own. I would love to own some more but with the times being what they are, I can't afford to buy them all. So for now the 12 little Copics that I have are earning their keep and would love some friends to keep them company.
I just started using copic markers and I love them. I would love a chance to win some so I can add them to my collection.
Thank You
I love my Copics. I have both Sketch and Ciao (Ciao so I can afford to buy more colors.) I started using Copics to color and shade my die cuts on my scrapbook pages. As I became more confident in my blending techniques, I now do stamped images for cards. Copic markers just make it so easy. I saw so many beautiful stamped images on the internet, but with Copic markers, I can do that too. Thank you Copic. I love that I can color other materials besides paper with my Copics. I would love to be able to win the set of new colors.
Michelle, our paths cross again. Now, let me explain, I AM NOT A STALKER! I am a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and followed you on SplitCoastStampers. As I browsed thru the cards and one would catch my eye that I knew I had to make, it always seemed to be your card. I remember thinking, I like this girl's style and especially like her name. I'm Michelle as well so it was easy for me to remember. Life has gotten a little crazy and I'm not on SCS as much as I used to be - hardly at all I hate to admit. I attended a local scrapbook store's intro to Copics last night to see what the hype was about and am now hooked! I started doing a little research on the computer and, lucky me, find out about this giveaway. Wow! And now to find you again and your incredible talent! Double wow!! I'd love to win my first set of Copics!! Take care!!
I would love to own some Copic Markers! I see so many beautiful projects done using them and I can't wait to get my hands on some. I want my cards to be just as beautiful!
ljatwood at gmail dot com
I'm slowly growing my COPIC collection. I love them because of the way they make coloring and shading look so professional! I also love they way you (Michelle) show us step by step how to create these awesome colored images. It really me!
Thanks for the contest ~ it's awesome!
Kim
One thing that I really wish I could try is the airbrushing with Copic markers. It just fascinates me to no end! All the projects I see with airbrushing are so beautiful and artistic. I would love, love, love to win the airbrush kit!
Life has not been the same since discovering Copics! My poor watercolour pencils sit lonely and neglected in a drawer while my Copics take centre stage - right out there on my desk - front and centre.They know they are well loved and cared for but the only problem is that they sometimes wish they had more company - yes, more copics would certainly make the party more fun!
I use copics for coloring images for cards and craft projects.
Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved coloring. I even won a $50 prize as a kid for my coloring! Now that I'm an adult I love using Copics to color. I use mostly Copic Ciao but have some Sketch pens also. Coloring my images is relaxing and a stress release for me. Copics are so easy to use and the more you learn about them the better your coloring becomes.

I couldnt understand why Copics were so expensive....until I bought a set LOL! Now I can't imagine coloring my stamped images with anything else. The quality is unsurpassed by any other product.
Wow! What a super giveaway!! I love using my Copic Sketch Markers to color in stamped images on all of my papercrafting projects!! I only have 20 markers so far, but have been adding a couple here and there when the budget allows!!
Your work is fabulous!!! Thanks for all of the inspiration!
Mish, I've got to tell you that your blog was the first place I caught sight of the Copic Markers. And your tutorial was the first one I found that I liked. I have learned TONS from you, and so appreciate you sharing all your knowledge and information with us. I am now a Copic addict and use them every day! I use the Sketch markers because I love the shape and the color code being on the cap. I also use the ABS and the multiliners. These products are all amazing, and I so appreciate the chance to win some of them. hugs!
WOW! What a great giveaway! I haven't even ever tried Copics but have heard great things about them. They are definitely on my wish list. It would fabulous to win them!!!
Thanks for offering them,
Laurie
I'm a believer after visiting the blogs in this contest today, and I would love to win because I, believe it or not, don't own a Copic. My heart is bleeding right now, talk about left field! I really would l ike a chance to win, play, and get certified with Copics.fundas
I wish I had Copics so I could get the professional look of so many projects I see on line. I really like how you colored the ribbon with the marker.
Love the colors so many, so bright and bold. The ability to blend and shade - Wow. I can spend hours playing!! So happy! Copics are one of the best inventions to hit the stamping community. datgh
What an awesome contest! I just love Copics. Their color is amazing. For many years I avoided the stamps that you had to "color-in". They were very intimidating, so I stuck with the solid image stamps or rather the stamps that required no coloring. Then about 2 years ago, I heard something about these markers called Copics. I had used markers before on the "coloring-in" stamps and did not like the results at all. These were borrowed stamps, so I was not really motivated to try anything else. But, Copics seemed different. The more internet searching that I did, the more interested I became. I finally stumbled onto the Copic website and their blog. Wow! The tutorials and explanations were amazing. I knew that I could do this, so I ordered some. Of course I eventually got some "coloring-in" stamps and fell in love with the whole coloring with copics concept. What an amazing marker! It is so cool that they are low odor, able to blend with other Copic colors, can also use on fabric and are refillable. I have not been using Copics for very long, but I have fallen in love with them. I only have a few now, but I plan to add more Copics to my Copic family as time goes on. These are truly a wonderful stamping tool that no stamp room should be without.
Michelle ~ you are the one who I'd like to thank for introducing me to Copics. I won some blog candy & there was an R85 Ciao for me to play with included. The rest is history, as I learned I could use markers to color an image without those yucky blotches & streaks! I now have a nice collection of Sketches & Ciaos ~ all thanks to your kindness!!! Now, I'd love to have a chance to play with one of those ABS... maybe I'll be lucky again!!!
I enjoy looking at the Copic colored images on cardmaking blogs. I'd love to try some of my own! Thanks for the chance to win!
I love the candy striped ribbon!
I love using my Copics because they are so versatile and come in every colour you could hope to need.
Robyn Wood
What a lovely card! I use my copic markers on all of my paper crafting projects. I love the vibrancy of the colors and the ease in blending.
I just love the images you color with Copics! I don't currently own any, but am planning to take a class that introduces the very basics of coloring with Copics. They are outside my craft budget (especially with Christmas upon us) but they are on my list of wanted "tools" for stamping. I follow yours, Debbie Olson's, and Sharon Harnist's blogs and am in absolute awe of your Copic images!
I wish I had Copic markers because they seem so versatile and vibrant. I currently only own one (I know, sad right?) which a friend gave me and would love to win more so I could experience the magic of blending and coloring for myself!
I have just started building my Copic collection--I have about 20 Sketch markers so far. I am loving them, and I am also intrigued by the air brush system I see so many designers use. It's a great effect, if I could learn the technique.
Congrats on the new postion - you will have so much fun. I so love my Copics. I am so happy for the day when I decided I should give them a try and I purchased a few to play with.
I LOVE YOUR BLOG!!!
I've just started paper crafting and 'copics' look really nice. I'd love to try them. Please include me in your drawing.
Your peppermint candy card is beautiful. I love the raised effects and how true to life the colors are.
Oh, the Copics! I have never used Copic's but have seen the way they make the artwork "pop" on the many blogs I visit. I'd love to win a set to check it out myself.

I am so very new to Copics but just love them! I have about 2 dozen, mostly Ciao with a few Sketch markers. I was hestitant to try them due to the cost but did a lot of research to learn about blending techiniques and which colors blend well. I very pleased with the Copics!! Thanks for including me in your drawing!!
I don't own any Copic markers but I would so love to. Your artwork is so beautiful but what do you start with? I woud definitely do classes to get started.
I would love to have some Copics.
A little to pricey for me at the moment, but everyone that uses them has such beautiful work. I love to color and would love to be able to try these! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Mish you will be a Wonderful Instructor.....
I could NOT be without my COPICS!!! They are the BEST thing I own...
If I go away for at least a night you can bet they are traveling with me.....LOVE LOVE my copics!!!!!
I just love the coloring effects of the Copic markers. I love to stamp and color but i have no Copic markers yet. I am attending a certification class next week and can't wait to get started. This giveaway would surely be a good stating point.
your card is adorable!
I looooooove my Copics!! they're like potato chips...you can't have just one set!! GOTTA HAVE THEM ALL!!!
I love coloring with them and using my ABS!
Copics are so much fun! Thanks to you and many others in cyberspace, I've learned a lot of techniques and tips that make using them so much easier. I bought a Copic DVD and haven't even looked at it b/c I spend too much time looking at the eye candy on the www! lol Thanks for the chance & Congratulations!! Would your region include Colorado?
All the cards in the blog hop are so gorgeous! I love the copic look!! I can't afford them but would really love to win some!
I do not own nor ever used Copic markers and would love the chance to own some. I found out about copic from blog hopping in Sept. then started my own blog in late Sept. I would love my cards to have that Copic look. I visit your site often and love your work. I love your ideas. Thanks for this chance to add Copics to my craft addiction. LOL. If I won I would need more I am sure they are beautiful in real vs. compter screen. What a wonderful chance. Thanks. bjcraftdiva@centurytel.net
That is the cutest little house at the top of your page today. Maybe I will be lucky and win some markers to go with the six I have purchased. I wait on coupons to Hobby Lobby and then run get one at the time.
What a great giveaway! So fun! I use my Copics with other markers and pencils out on the market. Since Copics have light colors, I use them as the base for all my coloring, then I layer on anything else I have in my inventory. I would LOVE for Copics to release all the colors of Sketch in Caio version. I actually like the feel of the round tube more than I do the squarish tube. And I rather spend a little less money with Caio so I can buy more colors.
Congratulations, Mish!! Wish I could come take a class with you!
I love my Copics! I started with just two - a yellow and an orange - so I could color a duck stamp. The first thing I noticed was that the paper didn't get fuzzy even when I added extra color. As I could, I added a few colors here and there. The fun thing is that they look great both when you use just one color and when you're able to shade. I love the fact that my coloring looks so "professional" now. My animals look animated, my people are so much more "real" looking... and my comments have gone from "nice card!" to "Fabulous Coloring". Since I have no artistic background and no Copic training or certification, that's all because of the markers - not because of me!!
I had one copic for the longest time (a flesh color). Then I used copics at a class. And knew I needed more than just a flesh. And it just seems like the more I have the more I 'need'.
Lisa
Mom, wife, teacher, papercrafter. Each of these titles helps to distinguish who I am, yet my desire to further my skills is always at the back of my mind. I hope to gain new and valuable insight into creative cardmaking when I win a set of Copics. Thank you!
I only have a few Copics and am just learning to use them. They are great!
Congrats Mish! I love my Copics. I had heard so much about them but couldn't use them properly and took a certification class. My kids thought I was nuts to pay so much money to learn how to use markers...they thought it was a no brainer. Having bloggers like you and the certification class has allowed me to move from novice to I can do this. Thank you all for showing us how to use this wonderful papercrafting tool.
www.craftycath.blogspot.com
Just getting into Copic's...Would love to win anything to do with them.
Congrats to everyone!
After becoming addicted to stampers' (mostly) blogs, I noticed how many bloggers mentioned their fabulous Copic markers. I was intrigued & started reading everything I could about them. I think I've purchased about every marker known to man, over the years, not ever being truly satisfied with the results. I've always been creative, love to color & (now) have a huge collection of stamps. Finally, I took the plunge & found that Copic markers were the answer! So versatile! To date, I have collected 154 Sketch markers, all the Atyou Spica pens, all the Multiliner SP BS pens, a black Copic Ink Pro Wallet Liner Kit Marker Set, one of the airbrush starter sets & the Papercrafting DVD. I couldn't praise Copic highly enough - I love it all!
thanks for the fun!
I would love my own copics so I can produce all the beautiful pictures I see everyday on all the blogs!
Sandra
Oh my, Michelle! I love the striped candies and the ribbon! I'm impressed by the fine colouring!
I'm loving learning and creating with my Copic Sketch markers. I bought a set of 36 Copic Sketch markers this past Spring while in Tokyo. I didn't really save much $, but I'm reminded of that wonderful trip with friends whenever I reach for them! Thank you *so* much for this chance!
I have colored in my outline stamped images for a while using a variety of coloring mediums. After some practice with my copic sketch markers I started coloring in all my images with copics. I adore the layering of colors to get a more realistic appearance. I am continually amazed at the colorful images I can create with my copics. Thanks!
I was a colored pencil person and it took awhile to before I jumped into copics, but when I saw how you could blend and the color ranges, I was hooked. Of course I use them in coloring stamped images and have airbushed in classes ( would love to have the kit) I also have the spica glitter pens which I reach for all the time to give subtle bling to my work.
My name is Sophia and I'm 14 years old. I started using copics a couple years ago when my favourite art started to stock them, and I bought my first two colours: E00 and E27. Before, I was just using sharpies and other random markers to colour my work, and my none of them had any nice skin colours! Of course, I loved the brush tip so much, (it was brilliant for doing hair!) I spent most of my pocket money buying a couple more colours! Then, for my birthday my grandparents bought me a 24 ciao set. It was love at first sight.
Now, I have a lot more now (around 55), and I have filled quite a few of my 5x7 copic sketchbooks up with my drawings! I wasn't that good with them when I started, I always ended up with icky bleeds and colours that went outside the lines. But I read many tutorials online, and eventually created my own style! Rather than going for light to dark for example, I colour in my base colour, then go dark to light. I've never seen anybody else do it this way, and that's whats so great about copics! You can use them in so many ways, and it always turns out fantastiv.
I love the versatility of copic markers. I have used them on school projects, cards, and colouring vinyl figures! I want to thank you for giving me the chance to use them, and all your other amazing products. I currently use your paper, inking pens, and set B of spica's (I use them on a whole bunch of assignments, as well as the finishing touch on a characters eyes!) Thank you for giving me the chance to use such amazing products.
Congratulations! I love reading your blog and never miss a post! I also love my Copic Markers! I'm a Certified Instructor by Sally Lynn and have been practicing and teaching ever since. My favorite thing is that Copics are so versatile- you can use them on anything! I'm always experimenting!! Thanks for the opportunity to add to my collection!
