Copic on Kraft vs White

June 16, 2020 0 Comments

Good morning Dare 2B Artzy friends! Michelle Houghton here for a little Tuesday morning inspiration. I decided to play with a little Kraft colored cardstock along side of my white cardstock today. It is always nice to see direct comparisons to me so you can really see the differences!

Here is the image on one of my go to Copic white cardstocks. Simple coloring small amounts of shading on the vase, but very minimal.
And here is the image on Kraft paper. Believe it or not the same colors were used on this copy of the image, Because Copic ink is transparent the Kraft paper shines through and significantly changes the look of the colors. Another major difference when working with Kraft paper is the softness. Kraft paper tends to be significantly softer then a smooth white cardstock so the advantage is blending basically takes care of itself. Colors melt into each other. The disadvantage is the bleeding. The colors are moving fast and far, great for blending harder to keep inside the lines. Just something too be aware of when experimenting with Kraft.
Both images went on to beautiful D2BA papers.
I used the same patterned papers on the second card in a little different design, but love how the Kraft really changes the feel and look.
One last peek side by side.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! below is a quick look at the D2BA products I used on the two cards above. You can click on the images to find them in the store.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
