Hello everyone!

Samantha here, filling in for Alyssa today!  And I have a nice colorful card for you featuring a brand new stamp set from SP and Company. This stamp set is called Lucky Day.

The rainbow was colored in with the following Copic colors:

• Purple Layer: BV02, BV04, and BV13
• Blue Layer: B00, B02, and B05
• Green Layer: YG11, YG06, and G14
• Yellow Layer: Y02, Y06, and Y08
• Orange Layer: YR00, YR07, and YR16
• Red Layer: R00, R29, R59

To get the very lightest area in the center of the rainbow, I used the colorless blender (number 0) to push the color towards the ends of the rainbow.

And as you can see, the red part ran a little bit because I colored it too quickly after the yellow layer and my yellow layer wasn’t all the way dried yet!  When coloring with Copics, you do have to be a little patient and let touching areas dry before coloring them.
