Hello Friends, How are you?? Several of you asked what colors I recommend to start a collection of the new Mary Le Plume markers. Another question was if you could use the Marvy makers with Copic markers. You will be happy to know that they can be mixed with Copic markers when you are coloring and blending. |
I would love to tackel a Copic color chart too…..maybe one day 🙂 The numbers written on the wings are the ones that I blended together on each side of each wing. This is the Penny Black butterfly that I used.This, this, this and this one are a few of my favorite cards that I used with this same butterfly. |
I really had some fun creating this color chart & it looks so colorful hanging in my studio. I created two video’s coloring with the Marvy markers. Here is Video Part 1. and here is Part 2. Did you see this coupon for Simon Says Stamp?? Here is a coupon code to take $5 off your next order!! Just use the coupon code: WINTER12 Coupon Code (expires 2/29/2012) |

Absolutely terrific Kathy – I could feel the excitement over colours just welling up inside me; even more so for I love butterflies. Here in the UK so far I’ve managed to obtain a good selection of Copics, ProMarkers & Spectrum Noirs in order to make a comparison so I shall see if I can find the Marvy le Plumes here too.

Hi Kathy,
I’ve been reading about the Tombow alcohol markers on your blog and wondered if the Tombow pens fill in any gaps of the copic colors or would you say their colors are very similar?
