Welcome to the Start of Summer Copic Blog Hop!
As summer gets into full swing, our Copic teaching team will take a short break from teaching to focus on refueling their creative juices and preparing classes for the Fall season and brand new classes for 2017.

While I have your attention, I'd like to share a card I created using one of my very favorite techniques for creating backgrounds.
Now, this card clearly has a lot more going on that just that background; but can you guess what I used to create the background? Did you say air-brushing?! Well, gosh you're exactly right! Nothing, and I do mean, nothing creates a background more quickly and beautifully than the Copic Airbrush System. By far, it's one of my best investments!
You can find full details on the background as well as the entire card, which was created with Taylored Expressions stamps & dies, right HERE.
Before you go, be sure to swing by the rest of the team blogs to see what they've cooked up for you!

This is so pretty. I would love to have this ABS one day as a tool. It always looks so smooth.

Oh, Cindy, what an amazing card! Wow, I love the scene and the sweet coloring you've done on the dies! But the airbrushing really is amazing! I really need to get mine out and practice! Love it! Hugs!

When you're right, you're right. The airbrush system is so amazing at creating backgrounds. I am saving my pennies! I want one!

LOVE the Copic Airbrush System and I also love how you colored those dies without a stamped image. What an amazing effect and certainly something I don't see every day!
