In today’s video on Easy Copic blending, you’ll be treated to a little visit to my sister’s garden! I had the video shot and in my computer, so one morning when I got up extra-early, I sat in the garden hammock swing and recorded the voiceover. (So some of the sound is a little wonky!) I wanted to share the birds singing – you can hear them (as well as a few trucks!) in the background!

Easy blending is possible – or maybe this should be called “easier” blending. Because choosing colors next to each other on the color wheel (analagous colors) really do work better together. The color wheel shown in the video was from a class eaten by the internet, sorry! But you can look at this to see what’s next door to each other on the wheel:
I’m doing this with Copics, but the same principle applies no matter what coloring medium you use. And with the Wplus9 Doodle Buds or any other simple flower, any medium can make pretty blossoms look beautiful!
Did you enjoy the birds? I loved sitting in the garden in the early mornings before it got hot, and before the bugs decided I would make a great breakfast! ha! I’ve always been told they eat me alive because I’m so “sweet” – whatever the case, I seem to be quite the treat for them!
I hope you’ll get out some flower stamps and try some bright summery blending!

Love this card, would love to see the video too but it seems to have vanished? Can you repost here? THANKS!!
Sorry, looks like it got marked private. It’s back now 🙂
Thanks but it’s still marked private thus not accessible. Even if you copy and paste the YouTube link it’s marked private there too. Apologies for the grief but I’m sure I’m not the only one who’d like to watch your video 😉
Phoo. That “enter” button must not have worked on my phone. See if that works now 🙂
YAY!! Success, thanks so much for sticking with it 🙂 – and for the beautiful video.
Awesome video. How do I go about making / getting one of those color wheels? Thanks.
No longer available, sorry…
Would like to get this colour wheel
Sandy, I just happened upon this color wheel, is it still available?
No longer available, sorry…
The wheel class is missing.
This was some fun coloring, great video! I love that color wheel, is the class still offered, I can’t find it.
I bought your color wheel class and really enjoyed making one ~ do more showing how to use the color wheel ~ I’m understanding how it works now! Love your videos!
Thanks for the great tips! i love your card!
What a fun and simple technique. Thanks for sharing all the little tips. Love your fabulous card!
Fabulous! I love these doodle buds image and enjoyed your voice over outdoors! Especially loved the bees! buzzz!
I don’t think I have ever seen your color wheel “in action”. Love the coloring in this card so I bought your color wheel and colored it this morning. I had to substitute a few shades here and there when I did not have the color you suggested. But, when I got to green I did not have any of the G40-43-46 Copics so I went to my handy-dandy Hex chart and found good substitutes (I think) using G20, G24 and G17. You are the absolute very best Copic expert teacher, ever with the greatest tools in the world that helps even a color challenged person like me! Thank you again!
Great idea to use the Hex chart to find substitutes! 🙂
Thoroughly enjoyed this vid Sandy! No stress coloring!
I love this card, Sandy! A totally different look with Copics than I am used to. Will have to give it a whirl.
Sandy, I absolutely LOVE these color combos! So beautiful! Thank you for always teaching us and helping us to become better color-ers!
These are STUNNING. I love the colors that you used. What a nice yard your sister has. I also love your fun color wheel!! Thank you for the video!!
Beautiful card Sandy!!! Love it!!
As always, I love the color combinations that result from your incredible “artist’s eye.” What a blessing you are to all of us for sharing your talent so freely. I appreciate you.
