Hi

I saw Copic pens on the blog of my LSS and was wondering if anyone has tried them?
I know they are blendable and not really for journaling, but since I'm creatively challenged just wondering how anyone has used them.

Try doing a search on the message board. I know there was another discussion about them months ago. I think the posts were really positive!

I know there are classes you can take to learn how to use them. That was enough to scare me off!

Yes, I am addicted to them. Love the colors and you will be hooked once you try them.

I'd love to try them, but they are too pricey for me!

My LSS owner loves them & they've offered a bunch of classes on using them with stamping. I'm not so good at stamping so I stay away.

Hey, Jenn, since you love them, maybe you could explain them some. You know, how to use them, what they do. That sort of thing. Thanks.

I just recently started to use them and discovered that there is a learning curve on the blending part. Here is a great website that has helped me alot.

You can also do a search for Copics on YouTube.

For stamped images I use either Stazon or Memento ink. This way the Copics won't bleed out of the image when coloring. You also want to use a high quailty cardstock - 80lbs or more so the colors don't bleed through to the other side.

Splitcoast Stampers has a great theard:

Warning - once you start buying them they do become an addiction.

Hope this helps.

I am addicted to pens but the price of these scared me away as well and I only saw them being used to draw sketches I didnt think they were for me...I so cannot sketch or draw at all!
