I was playing around with a Copic technique that I saw on Marianne Walker’s blog using Copic markers to color the rubber stamp, and then stamp the image onto a piece of cardstock saturated with colorless blender. I love the way this turned out! Gina also has a tutorial on her blog here.
This card uses the Picture It! stamp set included with the Organize It! StampTV kit available from Gina K. Designs.
The flower image was inked with Copic markers: G99 for the leaves; YG95 for the stems; YR23, RV13, V06, and BV13 for the flowers. I saturated the Pure Luxury Ivory cardstock with the colorless blender and then stamped the image onto the cardstock. Once the colorless blender evaporated, the image nice and crisp!
I cut out and embossed the PL Ivory cardstock with a rectangle nestabilities die and mounted it to the PL Soft Sand cardstock using dimensionals. The sentiment was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink below the panel. I dyed a piece of pink ribbon with the V06 Copic marker and then used glue dots to secure it in the shape of a bow behind the PL Ivory panel.
Supplies:
- Stamps: Picture It! (GKD)
- Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento (GKD)
- Paper: PL Soft Sand (GKD), PL Ivory (GKD)
- Accessories: Copic Markers (GKD), Pink Ribbon (GKD), Nestabilities (GKD), Dimensionals
Beautiful! I love your style Kurtis.
That is beautiful Kurtis…does the Copic marker permanently color the stamp? I bought some markers in the fall and I am a chicken at coloring still after all these years of stamping!
Hi Jean,
You need to clean the stamp with rubbing alchol or the colorless blender inorder to get the Copic off if you don’t want it to stain. just dampen a paper towel with the alchol and rub off the stamp.

I love it, Kurtis! Your ribbon is perfect too!
Absolutely stunning! Wish we sold the colorless blender….I can use the ribbon idea though! My gals absolutely despise tying bows!! LOL! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!
Kurtis, I can’t find the set “Picture It”. Where is it?
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AND LOVE THE WAY YOU DID THE RIBBON!
