Break Time

Hi everyone! With all the behind the scenes work happening here at MarkerPop (formerly iCopic.com), we have decided to take a little break. We are going to take the month of May off from blogging, but I assure you that our team is hard at work getting our our new store ready for launch on June 1st.

We will continue to chit chat and have lots of fun over on our Facebook page, so when you miss us, please stop by our FB page and say hello!

I can't wait to start bringing you more wonderful projects and inspiration starting June 1st! See you soon!

Thinking of You!

Toby With Roses

Hello to all my friends in cyber-land!   Marie here and I too am making my first MarkerPop post!  You can read about what Samantha has to say about our new direction HERE.    We are all very excited to start our new venture  and for the opportunity to try new supplies and techniques.   The most exciting thing for me is that this will provide more affordable supplies so more people can enjoy the wonderful experience of using alcohol ink markers and other goodies.   

I used a cute little image by Milton & Co (Wild Rose Studios) called Toby With Roses.  The technique I used was a stippling technique to create fur.   I also used a colorless blender to enhance the texture. 

Copics: 

Toby:  E35, E31, E53, E50, Colorless Blender

Roses/Bow: R20, R22, R24, R59

Leaves: G40, YG63 and G28

Tissue Paper:  RV21, RV00, and  Pink Copic Multiliner pen 0.3mm

Background:  B0000, B000 and R20   

 I love to play with various backgrounds.   

I made swirls with white ink and created muted colored hearts.

I layered my card and applied hand quilled roses and leaves.

Thank you for joining me today.

Altered Notebook

Happy Saturday!  So what do you think about the news Samantha shared yesterday?!  We are excited to see where the new venture will lead!  You can read all about it HERE once you are done reading MY post! *wink!*
For my first MarkerPop project, I altered a Composition Notebook!  Another first for me...but definitely won't be the last time I do this! 

I covered the notebook with papers from the Lily Bee Design Head Over Heels Collection.  I added a touch of May Arts Velvet and Lace ribbon, some Prima Marketing Pearls and Wood Buttons from Prima as well.

Sweet Magnolia Tilda With Daisy is colored with the following Copic markers:  G46, G43, E21, E02, T4, T2, E59, E57, YR16, YR15, BG15, BG10.

What a fun little notebook for a girly-girl!
