Media with Michelle

Have you seen my latest series of articles over at Get It Scrapped?  Over the past year I have been writing short tutorials demonstrating how to get some of the current medium trends onto scrapbooking layouts.  I have looked at Gelatos, Paper Crafter Crayons, stamp making, weaving, and more.  This month I was going to take a month off and then I found a tutorial on line that I just had to share!  A fun technique using Copics that I have not seen before.  If you have even 1 or 2 Copic markers you will want to check this one out.  So simple and beautiful.  The color in the background of this layout is created with Copics!

Every time I find a new use for my markers and a new technique I am blown away by their versatility.  And this time was no exception.  I love the chalky look that this technique brings to the markers!  Make sure to check out the full tutorial HERE!

Happy Friday, hope everyone is getting a few minutes of crafty time this long weekend!
