My Grandma's Teacups Scrapbooking and Craft Supply: Copic Craziness is Contagious! Beware

Last week our papercrafting club decided to do a bit of an introduction to alcohol markers. We basically went over the different kinds of markers that are available, how to use the Copic Colour Wheel and then we got down to just stamping and colouring. Time flies when you are having fun, it was just after 10 when we called it quits. We were having so much fun making all our stamped images come to life.

I did not want to leave you all hanging while I wrapped up my summer camping so I put together a quick round up of some really great Copic tutorials you may want to check out. Feel free to follow my Pinterest board Copic Crazy
