Watercolor with Copics

I stumbled across a new technique, although I'm guessing someone somewhere figured it out before I did.  However, I've never seen this done before so I'm claiming it as my own.  It's very, very difficult...NOT!  Let me show you the card and then I'll explain.



I colored with Copics on the front side then turned my hearts over.  I was getting ready to stick them down when I suddenly thought, "I like this side better."  See, told you it was terribly difficult!

I'm entering this in the CAS-ual Fridays, Curtain Call, and Runway Inspired challenges.

Kinda fun, huh?

Until next time,
Becca

    LOL, glad you got your card entered on time! I really like this - much better than mine! I love how the back side of your colored hearts are so pretty! My backsides are never pretty LOL!

    Oh, Becca - I am LOVING your technique. Before I read how you created the effect, I thought that perhaps you had water coloured them as that's what it looks like. Simply gorgeous. I don't have copics but I do have spectrum noir pens and so I am just going to HAVE to give this a shot!! Thank you for sharing it xx

    oh my gosh Becca, you are so talented. The only thing I ever seem to use the back of my Copic colorings for is to bleed out some color that has crossed over the lines. LOL
    I think both sides are lovely, but filpping them over sure makes for a special and lovely look.

    Beautiful!!! I probably don't color the fronts as nicely as you have, the back sides are definitely not this cool! Still, I'll keep trying, the look is "dreamy"!

    Oh you are brilliant! I love that you used the backside of your cardstock- I also thought it was some new watercolored technique! Thanks so much for joining us on the Runway!

    That is totally genius and yes, I love the effect on the back so much more than the defined images on the front! I will totally have to try this out! Thanks for strutting your stuff with us at Runway Inspired Challenge!
