My second card is from La La Land Crafts.  I just one all the little Luka images and this is no exception!   

Hello everyone!   Marie here and I want to share a card I created with the adorable little Luka image called Koala Luka from La-La Land Crafts.  I just love mail and I love packages even more!   I recently received my first order of Touch Twin brush markers in the mail   I could hardly wait to get my hands on them!   I have a lot - and I mean ALOT of Copic alcohol ink markers but I heard that the ShinHan Touch Twin markers work very well with Copic!    I always love to get in there and mix and match and see how many ways I can use a product!    It didn't take long for me to  decided to order some of the  ShinHan Touch Twin brush color combo's that would  enhance my wonderful  Copic collection.

My "TIP" for you today is that you can combine the Touch Twin  markers and Copic markers.   

I know we LOVE our Copic markers and will not part with them but there is always room for more - that's MY motto!   

 You may want to start with one or two color combo's and see if you like them.  

I decided to try to use them for skin tones on my image. and to use Copic markers for the rest of the image.  

You may want to give it a try.   

The Touch Twin  marks also closely  match many of the Copic marker  shades.  

That means, you can  not only create new color combos
but you can also substitute some of  them in your Copic combos for an extra touch - No pun intended :)!

 This Luka image comes in a deep rubber etched stamp,  mounted on a cling cushion that is ready to use with your acrylic block!
The size measures approximately 3 x 4 inches.  This is a perfect size for cards, 3-D projects and scrapbook pages.  I also like the size  because it give plenty of space to play around with extreme contrast in your coloring!

Touch Twin Markers Used:
Skin Tones:  YR29, YR25, R131

Copics Used: 
Hair and Boots:  C9, C7, C5, C3, C1
Clothing and socks:  BG70, BG72, BG75, BG78
Little Koala:  W5, W3, W1, R20
Hat embellishment: G20, YG63, G40, E40, E42, E44
Grass:  G40, G43, G45, YG63, G28

 I applied the base layers to my card.
I distressed the edges of my focal image mat in order to give it a rough tough OUTBACK look!

I hope you like this little card.   I just love the image and I know I will be reaching for it as one of my "go to" stamps!

I am linking these cards to the following challenges:

MarkerPop - Yellow

Make It Monday - Anything goes

Inspire me Friday's - Anything Goes

An now.....   I wonder what Touch Twin combo I am going to try with my Copics next time!

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great rest of your week!
