I give up! I was loan four Copic markers by my Close to My Heart consultant, Leisa, 2 shades of pink and 2 shades of gray (plus a blender pen). I've been trying to do something presentable but I'm afraid it's just not enough to show the blending capabilities... not even anything worth taking a photo of. So, this is the end of my colour experiment for now.
Some of you expressed concern that I wasn't making a final project with the finished dragons... well, the water colour dragon was given to my son, the marker dragon to my older daughter... but I rescued the coloured pencil dragon and crayon dragon to make into projects.
All the paper is from Stampin' Up, as are the two sentiments. The sparklies are from Close to My Heart and the dollar store (see the itty bitty sparkly on the pencil dragon's finger?). The ribbon and the corner punch are from Michaels, I'm not sure of the vendor names. The dragon is from Paper Pretties.
I'd like to thank all of you for following along on this colour experiment, your words of encouragement kept my momentum up and made it tons of fun. I must admit, whenever I make a post I check my email often to see if anyone has replied... it's like getting mini Birthday presents to get a comment!
On a closing note, please take a moment to enter my Draw for the Cure. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, hence why my blog and icon have gone PINK!

fun paper piecing on your first dragon card...fun ribbon presentation on the second!
Copics are a sickness...I'm just sayin! ;)
Great job! That was a big endeavor to color with all the mediums and you did a great job. Thank you for your sweet comment on my blog today, that was so nice and I feel the same.
Awww they are so cute on cards! I love them!!! But then I adore dragons... totally!
Nice job! Especially the first one!
thanks for your experiment...i for one learned a lot...and now i'm experimenting too...your finished projects really display your endeavors well
Ruth, I love the finished cards and I really enjoyed your color experiment. Great photo corners and ribbon accent on the second card! :)
I have enjoyed reading about your coloring experiments. The finished projects are lovely. I especially love the design of the top card. The paper pieced strip is perfect.
Great cards! And those dragons are adorable!! TFS!
It's really neat seeing the differences in all the various techniques. Thanks so much for sharing your photos and insight!
Love the dragons, and the different colourways.
You're right. That ring looks awesome. Nice work!!!
