Hello, it's Marika here. Today I'm featuring Fresh Freesia set with bright and fresh colours. I used a couple of masking techniques to create this bouquet of flowers. I used copic markers with no-line colouring technique to colour freesias with layers. Sentiments are a mix from Baby Zoo and Painted Poppy set. Here is my simple card for today:
Stamps used: Fresh Freesia, Baby Zoo and Painted Poppy.

Stamps used: Fresh Freesia, Baby Zoo and Painted Poppy.

Copic colours used: Y13 – Y15 – YG11 – YG03 and YG67.
I made video tutorial and this time I tried to explain my colouring methods more and I also shared some thoughts what I've noticed while experimenting with colouring with copics. Hopefully you find them helpful. You can watch it here or in HD in YouTube.
