Last week in THIS post I shared just how handy Copic‘s Multiliners are to stampers/paper crafters. Today I’m playing a bit more with the colored Multiliners. As mentioned in the previous post, Multiliners are available in black as well as eight colors – wine, cobalt, olive, gray, warm gray, sepia, brown and pink.
All Multiliners feature the same qualities. They are archival, waterproof, fade resistant and pigment-based. They are available in a variety of nib sizes and all work perfectly with Copic markers.
Paper Smooches “Twiggy Florets” and “Chit Chat”
I used colored Multiliners to create a pattern within the open space image and sentiment above. After drawing the lines, I filled the space, coloring over and adding a bit of shadow with Copics. (I love that I can color over the Multiliners with no bleeding whatsoever. Zero. Very cool.)
I first stamped the image and sentiment onto X-Press It Blending Card using Taylored Expressions’ new Oreo hybrid ink.
I taped the Blending Card at an angle onto graph paper then used a straight edge to draw alternating lines of Cobalt, Olive, Sepia and Wine. I used the grid paper to make sure the lines remained straight (because, you know, sometimes they don’t).
After filling the sentiment, I decided to do the same with the flower and leaf. I used only Sepia in those areas.
Once all areas were lined, I filled in with Y21 then added a touch of shadow with YR23 and a bit of W1 and W2.
Copic Multiliners – Cobalt, Olive, Sepia, Wine; Copic markers – Y21, YR23, W1, W2
I love the finished result as an alternative to simply coloring in the areas. 🙂

Another of my favorite uses for the wine Multiliner is to add freckles to faces. It’s a tiny detail but makes a big difference.
Thanks so much for visiting today! Have a great weekend!
