Up and Away (Copic Colour Challenge #10)

This is the first time I've entered the Copic Colour Challenge and I have to admit that I thought the colors were hard to pair with the stamps in my collection. I also don't own Copic Color B02, but the challenge sponsors don't seem to mind if you can't use all colors in the challenge. I'm a Copic novice, and I'd love to advance my technique using these wonderful markers. Bean Tip: It is possible to match all of Stampin' Up's standard colors with Copic. B39 (Prussian Blue), for example, is very nearly an exact match with SU's Brilliant Blue.

For the image, I used only the mouse/balloon portion of this cute Penny Black stamp and paired it with a 'Thank You' banner. The cloudy sky was done by sponging ink using a scallop circle punch as a mask.
