What a great new blog. Thanks for the inspiration!!!!!
This looks fab! I absolutely LURVE my Copics. I can’t wait to play in all the challenges.
Thank you for doing this.
This is my very first play with copics as i only got my first few a couple of days ago. I have to admit i have now fallen head over heals in love with them and looking forward to getting some more so that i can take part more
Can you explain Copics — I’m fairly new to this!
Gosh, what a helpful site!! I have linked my yesterday’s Ladybug Tilda!! Thanks for this site!!!
WOW am I glad I found this site. I am just getting started with Copics and I LOVE every min of them. Hopefully I will be able to link a creation soon!
I just found you through Marianne! SO GLAD! I just gave you a shout out on my blog and posted my first TWO EVER Cards that I made using my Copics! Now, I am going to go add you all to my blog-roll!
Now, I am just starting out and this is one of my first few attempts….so bear with me! But I ENJOY using Copics so much and am learning so much all the time! This looks like it will a fun site!
I’ve just been using copics for a little while, but I sure do love them. I think this challenge site is a really good idea!
Wowwww, amazing site and beautiful cards. I’ve just been using Copics since two mounths. I’m afraid I have a Copic virus:)

Hi I’m looking forward to joining in, just posted my first card. I’m a Copic newbie and this will be a great way to improve.
Great challenge!!! Getting just the right skin tones is something that I have been researching a lot lately. Thanks for giving us the links to those fabulous tutorials.
What a great site…I love all the helpful hints and inspiration!! I have been playing with copics for a while but realized after reading the wonderful info that I was doing sooo many things wrong!!! Hopefully, this will get me on the right track!!
Adorable samples Ladies!! Great challenge!
Oh what fun! I watched Suzanne’s tutorials and then went back and redid an image that I had colored before.
What a cool blog! I’ll be back for sure!
Here’s my card:

Great Challenge! and great tutorial links. I have linked my project although it’s not a card but something I have been meaning to do for a while. i found the tutorial on limited markers very helpful. Thanks. Caroline x
Love this blog! Just what I needed to practice with my new copics. I’m now a copic-crazed crafter (“CCC”) so I’ll be posting here often! ; )
This was a great challenge – I had a lot of fun choosing the right stamp image and trying to make those faces and skin tones as pretty as I could.. There’s no secret that I love my Copics (well, don’t we all?).
Thanks for sharing your gorgeous projects and inspiring tutorials!
Here’s my entrance:
