My card for this week’s Copic Colour Challenge.
Note: Don’t forget, you don’t have to use all the colours, and if you don’t have the exact colours listed just substitue the closest you have available! All you have to do to enter is use at least one Copic marker. I didn’t have one of the colours this week – Y28 and so I substituted Y23.
You will definitely want to join in this week – we’re being sponsored by Elzybells, and Elizabeth has provided some fantastic stamps for the prize, including some of her gorgeous teddy designs (my favourites).
For my card I’ve used of the fabulous Paper Pretties stamp sets that arrived at Quixotic Paperie last week. Beach Bum Cooper is my favourite, so I wanted to use him, but didn’t have any suitable papers. With my new digital capabilities, I went hunting around online and found the fabulous Sandcastle collection pack at Nitwit Collections. Perfect.
Beach Bum Cooper has been coloured with Copic Markers, and you will find the list at the end of this post. For a little dimension, I cut him out and popped him up on foam dots on an airbrushed background.
As usual, I have finished the inside of the card, and created a pocket on one side with the wave border to hold the tag for a message.
The Starfish Charm is of course from Quixotic Paperie, and is one of my favourites. Attached using Natural Twine.

Hi Elaine!
I found your blog a bit ago from splitcoast stampers sugar nellie forum-we’re both serious sugar addicts! I just wanted to say how pleased as punch I am with the service at quixotic paperie-I placed an order Monday night and mr postie has just placed it in my hands! Also I am really chuffed with your postage costs-as you charge by weight of order. Huge fan of your store and the products! Thanks! Love Rowena
