My Favorite Copic Marker Colors (videos + GIVEAWAY)

Happy weekend crafty friends!

I've received a lot of questions about my favorite Copic Marker colors so today I have a card featuring images colored with my favorite and most used Copic Markers. This is by no means all the colors I use but I would say these are the colors I use more than any others. I am not an expert at all. A lot of coloring is trial and error and practice, practice, practice!

To showcase my favorite Copic markers I used one of my favorite Simon Says Stamp stamp sets, Abby's Spring Showers. While I touched almost all my favorite colors/color families there were a few colors in the gray families that I couldn't fit into this card! All of my favorite markers (plus the few I didn't fit into this designs) are listed below the project photos.

 

I colored in the Abby's Spring Showers stamps with my favorite Copic Marker colors (watch video below), then die cut the images with the coordinating Spring Showers Die Cuts.

For the background I stamped SSS Sea Glass Cardstock with the SSS Falling Rain Background Stamp using Versamark Ink and embossing with clear embossing powder. I stamped SSS Green Leaf Cardstock with the SSS Diagonal Background Stamp using SSS Fern Ink and die cut a landscape using a SSS Stitched Slopes and Borders die. I die cut clouds from smooth white cardstock and vellum using the SSS Flat Bottom Clouds die and heat embossed a greeting on the vellum cloud from the SSS Hand Lettered Encouragement Stamp Set, embossing with white embossing powder.

I adhered all the stamped, colored and die cut images to the background panel and rounded the corners on the panel and the card base with a 1/2" corner chomper.

CAUCASIAN SKIN TONES

These are the colors I generally use for caucasian skin. I'm creating another tutorial/chart featuring more skin tones/hair colors. I'll have that up in the next week or so!
