Hello and welcome! Marie here and it is Tip or Technique Tuesday!
I am so excited to share this new stamp I used for the first time this week. I selected this beautiful flower from Teacups by Lucy Cromwell (DoCrafts).
There are so many adorable stamps in this set I had a hard time deciding which to use first! I think I will do one of the teacups next time!

My image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Dye Ink on Cryogen paper.
The focal image was colored with Sketch Copic Alcohol Ink markers
and I used a Faux Watercoor technique for my background.
The beautiful designer paper is from Wild Rose Studio and called Always and Forever.

And since it is Tuesday, I will share some information on Copic Ink.
If you are like me, our Copic markers occassionaly get low on ink and we need to refill the markers.
So how much ink should one use for refilling Copic markers?
This is a little guide.

How soon you will need to refill your markers will depend upon the paper you use and your coloring style.
Soft paper will absorb the ink faster and use more ink…… and that means you will need to refill more often.
