Three Marker Challenge

February 29, 2016 by Sandy Allnock 37 Comments Filed Under: Copic Intermediate

Hey it’s Monday. You know what that means – Magic!

This challenge has been out there for eons, and lots of folks have asked me if I’d take it on. And I did, back in December. I shot this video last year! Yep! And why is it only getting posted now? Because it’s been SO hard to get the stamps restocked. I guess lots of people love it as much as I did. There’s only a couple, so if you’re considering this one – snag it while ya can! 

Video

Watch the video below, or click HERE to see it in HD on YouTube!

For the card itself, a simple layering and sentiment stamp were more than enough to add. Fortunately I didn’t mess it up with the embossing – usually I flake little bits all over the place, even using a powder tool! ha.

    Sandy, this card is beautiful! As much as I like it when you do voice-overs, I still love your Magic Monday videos. Watching you make the image come to life IS magic.

    Today’s video was inspiring. The music you chose went perfectly with the image. I loved it!

    Gorgeous card. It would be amazing even if you had used a whole palette of Copic colors, but to have used only three: Phenomenal !!! You are so talented, and so gracious about sharing your knowledge with us. Thank you.

    I like that there are only three (3) markers used. I can handle that amount.

    Sandy, This is amazing. How do you “see” where to shade? I look at just the stamped image before you started coloring and was lost as to where you put the shading. I can kind of understand how to shade one flower, but the blooms all overlapping really threw me. Is it something you would consider teaching us in an online class? Thanks for sharing your talents!

    Most impressive!! Three colors! Love your card!! Wow! It makes me think I need to try it—especially now that you’ve shown us where the shading goes. I think that might be the hardest part to figure out. Thank you for a great video!!

    Although I missed your commentary in the video, your work is ALWAYS INCREDIBLE! How you turned that stamp into a masterpiece is truly AWE–INSPIRING. If only I could have a 1/4 of your artistic talent …one could only dream 🙂 Thank you for sharing.

    Wow! Yes, this is a “wow” card! I love that you did this with only three markers. There is such depth to those flowers. And lucky for me, I have that stamp, and have used it before, but what I made doesn’t even come close to what you created. Thanks for sharing!

    Way over the top, lady! How you can do something like this with just 3 colors is a tribute to your talent and imagination! I’ve watched you color some amazing things, but this is the first one that I figure I OUGHT to be able to do – and I’ll try – but I know there’s a Grand Canyon’s worth of difference between me and the PRO!
    Thank you once again, for all you do.

    Sandy, you are AMAZING! I appreciate your energy, talent and generosity in sharing with all of us. You make it easy to learn to create. I also want to thank you for something you said during the paint along series. (I followed along, but did not paint as I am on another creative project right now.)

    Thank you for encouraging us “paper crafters” to realize that we are artists. It was like a light bulb when you said it and I have been blooming ever since. What ever my medium, I am creating and expressing something wonderful.
