I’m excited to be bringing you a fun and easy technique today…a technique for Copic + stencils, and paper to look like chalk!
Copic + stencils = FUN new technique
I chose a Penny Black stencil called Sun Catcher – a huge flower without detail on the inside. I show you in the video how to create that second petal in front. I love how each flower comes out looking entirely different every time! I made a bunch of these and mailed them to my patrons recently.
Check out the video below to see how I created it….it’s sooooo easy! If you have trouble viewing the video below, click HERE to watch it on YouTube.
The sentiment set is called The Big, The Bold, and You….Winnie and Walter is really BIG on sentiments!
And you can also try this technique with other markers and inks as well; for fluid, use whatever you would normally use to clean the medium off the stencil. Just be light with it – heavy fluid will make some cool effects too, but won’t come out like chalk.

Thanks for visiting – I’m off on vacation, but my blog’s scheduled like mad…so keep on visiting! 🙂 I’ll have some #BTS pics of the trip over on my Instagram, so keep an eye out over there too!

Amazing! I wish my mistakes turned out so well!

I really liked how simple it was yet elegant looking. I’m going to try it at my next card class. Even beginners should be able to do it.
Wonderful technique. I am going to try it, thanks.
Loved the technique. And I do love your intro. You are just so talented!

Sandy, you are beyond amazing. I love, love, love this technique!!!!
I think you are fabuloso!! I do not normally work in water colors but after watching you bought a set and some paper and brushes. Can’t wait to try everything. Thanks for the inspiration
Beautiful technique. Wish I had a stencil right now to try it out.
Loved…Loved…Loved it!
Wow wow wow love this technique love how soft it looks great idea now I need to get a bottle of the copic blender solution… Thank youuu
failure is often the first step to success and this is success. So beautiful Thanks for sharing it with us.
really neat technique will have to try it
What a neat technique. Love the look you get from it. Another use for stencils. Thanks for sharing. Oh, I do like your intro and exit. I see you used your favorite color.
LOVE THIS LOOK WHERE CAN I FIND THE FLORAL STENSEL
Wanda, there’s a link at the end of the post.
This is a fantastic technique, Sandy!! I love to learn new techniques and you make this look very easy! I’m excited to try it out! And your new swirly is divine, dahling! How fun! Thanks for sharing and I hope you’re having a nice trip!
I just love how oopsies can be turned into wonderful things, like this technique. Wonderful chalky-effect and beautiful card. I’d never bought the big open stencils like this because I never knew what to do with them, until now. This stamp set is truly on my wish list. Your new intro/exit is really beautiful – I’m a big ‘swirl’ fan; and love that you’ve put it with your fave color – it’s so you! Hope you have a fun vacation!
The intro and out-tro(!) look so professional! Totally worth the effort it must have taken.
Your chalking technique is great. So simple and serendipitous and gives such a soft look. It would work great with landscapes and snowy images, too I think. Need to count my pennies and think about becoming a patreon…
I can hardly wait to try this. I love the soft look!
This is beautiful Sandy! Thanks for sharing.
Just a quick Hoozah for your new technique, so pretty…gotta go now and try it out for myself. Bye.
Very cool…You are SO freaking creative!! And now I have to go buy that stamp set…cuz I love it!!
Amazing technique!!!! Such gorgeous results!!
When do you use Neeah’s 110# vs 80#? I just got my first batch in and am loving it!
I love the beginning! Yellow!! What a cool technique, that looks amazingly easy.
This is brilliant!
This is great. I love my Copics and now I have a good excuse to buy more. I’ll try this today with a rose stencil I have. Thanks for sharing and I do like the new intro and ending.
Love the chalking technique. Thank you so much for sharing.
A happy accident as my Mum used to say! What a beautiful technique. I really liked the new intro too. BTW, I think you need to start including your nail polish color in the doobliedoo!
Dear Sandy,
Sometimes our mistakes can create real works of art! This is a great, easy technique. I think it’s absolutely beautiful!!!! I think that it’s wonderful that you are so willing to share you gifts with others. Thank you so much!
