Tips & Tutorials: Make it Crafty Chipboard
Copic markers don't blend quite as well as usual on chipboard but if a layer of light ink is used as a base coat and the colors are built up from light to dark, the chipboard will allow the color to become very visible. The chipboard looks very realistic when applying the soft muted colors of alcohol ink to them. I colored in the stem first from light to dark using the following: E35,E37,E29
Because the paper had a hue of yellow, I chose to add these yellows to some of the small buds on the chip board. Copics used: YG01, YG95
I coated the flower blossoms with lightest color first, then from the center outward with the tip only in flicking swipes I add the medium color then in shorter less seldom flicks with the darkest tone. Copics used: BG000,BG23,BG75
