Oh my goodness, Sandy Allnock! Your marker art looks so life-like! The greeting cards you made were amazingly beautiful! I almost can't believe you made them using mere ink stamped images that you colored in with alcohol markers! That's some serious coloring ability! You are UBER talented and EXTREMELY skilled! Hallmark, eat your heart out! Thank you so very much for this tutorial, Miss Sandy. It was very educational, as well as inspiring. I learned a lot of tips and tricks for improving my alcohol marker coloring technique and now, I can't wait to go color! I love all your art videos and am so grateful for them. 😘💕 God bless you.
Your background scenes are always lovely.The good thing for a lot of us is that there are matching dies and we can try out a scene and add the sweet critters to start with until we get more comfortable. Thanks for the inspiration.
Sandy, I’m so thrilled that you decided to do a video about Alcohol Markers bleeding! I tend to put paper underneath what I’m coloring on to keep the markers from bleeding normally. I don’t see too many people doing that when I watch TH-cam videos of people I follow. I am so grateful that you took time out of your busy schedule to talk about all the various tips to help prevent / minimize / mask bleeding!!! The cards you created are amazing; your background scenes tell a story & draw me in every time!!! Such masterpieces!!! I appreciate you sharing your knowledge & creativity!!! Blessings always sweet soul!!!
Thank you for all your free advise. It is much appreciated! Tips and tricks are always great to know. I loved your sleigh and all the other wonderful scenes.
Sandy - thanks for all your fantastic videos & tips..... I learn so much! I also LOVE the CCC stamps & have quite a few of them - so this tutorial is especially fun to watch!
You’re really are an amazing artist! I use Accent brand paper from Amazon it’s comes in different weights, super smooth and whiter than the Neenah- and a great price point!
Beautiful cards and great tips! I am so sad, tho. We are moving and my entire craft room is packed up and has been for the last month. Absolutely no card making for me now and probably for at least the next month. This is just adding more stress as crafting helps to calm me down. The end result will be worth it all! Hope you all enjoy Sandy’s card challenge.
@@SandyAllnock1 God has given you an incredible talent. Thank you for sharing your expertise! I would love to see the process videos for the cards you showed as examples in this awesome video!
Great tips! IMO, the best one is to let it rest. I’ve been doing that for years now and it really helps, not only to stem the bleeding, but to give you time to think about better color choices. I’ll “flat” the whole page (fill in everything with a base color), then go back for my secondary color choices while looking at how it will affect all the other colors on the page. By building up colors slowly and evenly across the page I almost never have problems with bleeding. Also, I use Hammermill Color Copy Digital Cover 110 lb paper for Copics. It’s not slick at all and handles the abuse of the alcohol markers beautifully. Thanks for yet another amazing video, you are so often a source of inspiration for all of us and we really appreciate it!
There’s already a Casting Shadows class…I don’t think these big shadows will end up in a crafty course due to all that needs to be understood about light and shadow…that’s why I focused on it in a drawing class.
Great info as always. FYI I had a hard time getting to this video. The link I got in my email said "private video". I finally got thru by way of your website. Love these scenes! I can imagine how saturated the paper must've gotten. TFS
You have amazing Talent. I love all your cards. I wish I could afford Copics. I use Illustrators by Spectrum Noir and the old Spectrum Noir. But Love my Faber Castell Polochromos and also Faber Castell Watercolor Pencils. Besides Distress Dye Inks and Distress Oxide. I wish I could find a Color chart for all what colors go well together. Thanks for video and a look at your cards.
Thanks for the info. Gorgeous cards - as always! Love the scenes! I'm curious if you've tried XPress It. I'm sure you probably have but I'm not sure why most crafters I watch don't use it. Is there a reason? I use that for the images or front of card if I'm creating a scene, and Neenah for card base, etc. I don't really get much bleeding...seems to take more layers of color. Let me know if you see this as I'm really curious!! Thanks so much for all the wonderful ideas.
@@SandyAllnock1 Thanks for replying. I was really curious. I started on XPress It so I guess I'm most familiar with that surface. Thanks for the info. and all of your amazing tutorials!!
Hello, Sandy! How did you design your background? Do you have stencils for your background or do you just play by ear (old sounding)? By the way, you have great information about each of your cards. I'm learning.☺️

if I only had one-tenth of your talent...so wonderful. Thank you for the tips.
Thank you for all your free advise. It is much appreciated! Tips and tricks are always great to know. I loved your sleigh and all the other wonderful scenes.

Incredibly beautiful cards!
Very helpful! The scenes are all amazing!
WOW! WOW! Your cards are amazing. Thank you.
Awesome tips, wonderful samples and as always I give you a big thumbs up
You’re really are an amazing artist! I use Accent brand paper from Amazon it’s comes in different weights, super smooth and whiter than the Neenah- and a great price point!
Cards are amazing...your tips are so good, now I have to apply them to my coloring. TFS
Appreciate all the tips! I can totally relate to all the "fixes" one tries to "stop-the-bleeding". :-)

Absolutely a stunning collection of cards Sandy! I love all the versions of the dramatic lighting too! A future class?? Ally.

@@SandyAllnock1 Thanks Sandy! I need to go and look in the class list again apparently!! LOL!
Great info as always. FYI I had a hard time getting to this video. The link I got in my email said "private video". I finally got thru by way of your website. Love these scenes! I can imagine how saturated the paper must've gotten. TFS
I prefer the EXPRESS-IT paper
What an insightful video thank you! Do you have any tips for coloring large areas with copics without leaving streaks?
How about this? th-cam.com/video/JaC2xa6kKVI/w-d-xo.html
@@SandyAllnock1 ah thank you so much this is really helpful!

I have and don’t like the surface much; it’s slicker, and requires more control so haven’t recommended it.
@@SandyAllnock1 Thanks for replying. I was really curious. I started on XPress It so I guess I'm most familiar with that surface. Thanks for the info. and all of your amazing tutorials!!
Hello, Sandy! How did you design your background? Do you have stencils for your background or do you just play by ear (old sounding)? By the way, you have great information about each of your cards. I'm learning.☺️
Totally play it by ear. No one makes stencils for this.
@@SandyAllnock1 I figured, you played it by ear. Great job! Beautiful! 🖌️🎨
What white pen do you use? Do you have a website for it as well? The one I use isn’t that good. Thank you
I can’t imagine you not knowing how to color it .
I tried purchasing and get the error, B2G1SA, does not exist. So no buy 2 get one free.
Can you send the store a message? I have no control over that.
@@SandyAllnock1 Yes, I sent a message to fixit@art-classes.com. Thanks!
Just realized you thought the coupon was for my classes… I’m so sorry. It’s a Colorado craft company sale.
@@SandyAllnock1 ooooh, that explains it. Thank you!
