Copic Butterfly Make and Take

I’m really excited to be doing a demonstration this weekend for The Big Art Event at David M. Mangelsen’s store in Omaha, Nebraska. I’ll be teaching a make and take as well as demonstrating a variety of techniques with Copic Markers. If you live within driving distance of Omaha, you should totally stop by for this fun event. There’s also a web coupon available at the store’s website, so make sure to bring it with you.

Here’s a photo of the cute little make and take that I put together for the event. What I love about this is that believe it or not, this is actually a hybrid card. The butterfly is a digital stamp (or brush) created by Obsidian Dawn. I printed the image onto Neenah paper using a laserjet printer. (Inkjet will bleed when used with Copics, but laser printers work better than almost any other ink. It’s awesome! To create the set of cards, I just chose three markers in the same color value and blended them into the wings. Such a fun simple card. To complete it, I colored a piece of white ribbon to coordinate with each colored butterfly. With copic markers, there’s no need to worry about finding the right color, just buy white ribbon and you’re good to go!
