I decided to do some experimenting with inks and copic markers. I wanted to see what options I had besides using stamps & ink. Here's what I found -- Sharpie permanent pens don't run when using with Copic Markers. I have the Marker Holders from Amy Chomas so I'm able to use Sharpies in my Cricut. They work great!! This opens up a whole new arena of options -- I can "draw" my die cuts and color them in using my Copics.
My second experiment was to see how my printer ink works with Copics. I have a HP Photosmart printer. I printed a word using an open font that could be colored in -- the ink didn't smear. Now I really have more options with using the markers. I can download Clipart and color in. Since I'm not much of a stamper - I have mostly background stamps because I do scrapbooking not cards this is really great. I don't have the patience for cards but so admire those who do. Some of the cards I've seen are just "Wow!!".
Now I got a lot of possibilities for how to use my markers. Yeah!! I got the last batch of Copic Markers from A Cherry On Top. They have a large selection of Copic Sketch Markers for only $5.24 and free shipping. I've not been able to beat that.
