Gratty 'tude'



I have a question that I hope y'all can help me with. I just had my first Copic marker run out of ink - what do I do? Do I buy a refill?? Is it hard to add more ink to it? Does it take a lot of ink to refill it? Is there a tutorial or video somewhere? Y'all know I'm accident prone! Am I going to get ink everywhere?? Any advice or tips please let me know!!!! I need my marker. It's E31 and I use it on just about everything. Okay, on to the card. I followed this old Mojo sketch. I had it saved on my computer, but never got around to doing it that week, but it was too good of a layout to not keep and use - eventually. I colored Gratty 'tude' in with Copics (thanks Tammi for the fabulous image!). I added Magenta Shimmerz to the hearts and middle of the flowers. It turned out to be a super sweet birthday card. Thanks for stopping by!!!

Oh...Copics...buy the refill, it has enough for LOTS of refills, you just grab the nib and pull it out then squeeze the refill in and put the nib back in...it is super easy!

Oh! So cute! I love that image! You did a fab job on the card! Looks like refilling is easy too, good to know!

OMGosh you whipped that out fast, it's gorgeous!! Yeah, if you use your copics as much as me, start buying those refills! ;) They last a long time, I do what Rach does, I take out the squarish nib, since I never use it.

OK - well this is very interesting talk! I don't even know where to buy refills!!! So if you find a site Kim, let me know. I ended up buying 3 new Copics because I ran out of ink.
Your card is super cute and love those colors - so vivid!
