*I saw this neat technique for
making a "mottled" image with copics on another blog a while back. There's not much to it, really. You just color directly on your stamp with copics, spritz the stamp with alcohol and then stamp directly on paper. It helps if the paper has some tooth to it, to make it more mottled.
