They helped create the highlights for the seeds. To add detail to the flower centers I used my 0.5 Sakura Gel Roll pen and added white dots in small clusters onto the brown centers. Here I used Versafine Onyx Black ink to add more contrast to the sentiment. We all need to have faith these days and believe in a peaceful tomorrow. Next, I stamped a sentiment for my card – I selected one that reads Have Faith. If you struggle with blending using your alcohol markers, this might be a very easy way for you to color. I know this is not for everyone, but ever so often I like to color this way. It looks very different from the blended coloring. I love this coloring method and the final result. If you have a big marker collection you can add a 4th or even a 5th color to add greater color variation to the flowers, especially if you are coloring a larger image. I would say use 3 markers, a light, a medium, and a dark. It is up to you how many marker colors to use to color your image in this way.
Remember not to blend anything, just apply a solid layer of color. The darker you go, the less of an area you cover. It works not only for flowers but other types of images too. You can use this coloring method with many different images and I’ve demonstrated the technique in the past featuring both small and large images. To achieve this, you need to let the ink you’ve applied dry before you apply the next color on top.
I trimmed my panel to 3 1/2 x 4 3/4” and began coloring. I used my heat tool and heat set the ink as the type of ink I used is not Copic markers friendly and it bleeds when it comes in contact with alcohol. My stamping was done on Simon’s 130lb cardstock as I love this paper for coloring with Copic markers. I imagine that would look quite beautiful. You can also try stamping in the type and color of ink you use for no-line Coloring, and use this coloring technique for a no-line colored result. I stamped the image in Versafine Vintage Sepia ink, I didn’t want to use black, as I opted for softer colors. The finished image has a modern graphic colored look to it, and the best part about it is you don’t need alcohol markers that blend well together, in fact, the greater difference in color or shade of your markers, the better it is for this technique. I say Copic because I use Copic markers for this technique, but other alcohol markers work just as well.

This led me to a different way to color which I like to call Copic Blend Free coloring. I love all things abstract and I also love to experiment with my Copic markers. Simon Says Stamp has several amazing stamp sets that feature sunflowers, either alone or in combination with other flowers. I was inspired by all your projects, I wanted to create a sunflower card myself. There are so many amazingly inspiring projects featuring the two colors of the Ukrainian flag – blue, for clear blue sky, and yellow, for fields of wheat or fields of sunflowers which is a national flower of Ukraine. Instagram is booming with blue and yellow cards these days. I will continue to create cards and film videos for as long as I can. You might think this is not the time for me to be making cards and filming videos, but card making has always been my therapy and it is even more so now.
