Question What do YOU color with your copics?

Just wondering what various stamps other color with thier copics. Besides SU! stamps...I'm not that into TGF or Magnolia....reminds me too much of "Holly Hobby" from the 70's!
I DO like the idea that TGF and Magnolia brand stamps offer plenty of room for color gradiation...just want a "different" look other than "cutesy"...KWIM?
Suggestions please!!!;)

The florals and fruit image from Flourishes are wonderful to use with copics. Mark's Finest papers also has many stamps that work well with copics.

Apologies if this brand of stamp "is'nt your bag" as Austin Powers would say, but I seem to be able to colour in the Penny Black images better than any other brand. I have done a few magnolia in the past but having so few variations of colours felt that I was getting nowhere near the results as I have seen from other members so rather pathetically have given up (at least until I get more shades!)

I got my first copics at Christmas and although the cards below have been done using promarkers, the results I have had with my copics has been even better (IMO!)

A big plus for me too (being a newbie) is that all of the PB stamps come with a coloured picture on top of the stamp which I have found invaluable as a way of practising my feeble efforts.

For me that is one of the downside of clear sets, (although a rare few do) having a ready coloured image to copy would be fantastic if the companies included those. Then when we get more confident we could put our own colour combo's into action.

Sorry if this is of no help whatsoever and happy colouring! x

I guess the first question I have is what IS the style stamp you like?

For florals Flourishes are great.
For less cutesy more hot images - Bombshell Stamps and Kenny K Digi Images
I also have some images from Paper Pretties, Kraftin Kimmie and Belles and Whistles.

I own less than 10 SU images, so can't really comment on those.

Anything with open lines, lol! I love my TGF stamps but here are a few others I like to color!

MFT stamps
Stamping Bella
Sparkle Creations
CC Designs (from All that Scraps)

I'm sure I missed a ton but these are some of my favorite companies that offer stamps you can color with Copics

Do you do digi or are you only rubber/clear? There are a lot of digi stamp companies out there that carry beautiful images for colouring..
Here are a couple of companies from whom I've purchased stamps recently:
Whimsie Doodles
Digistampcharacters (she designs for My Favorite Things too)
