I have also purchased a empty Copic pen and filled it with 1 part Bg72 and 2 parts Bg70 because I feel that Bg70 and Bg72 are qutie hard to blend and need a middle colour.

I do use lots of other colours too but the above are my favourite and I tend to try and match my colours to the papers I am using because if I colour first I often struggle to match the piece to any papers,
which is surprising since I have enough paper to decorate my house with.
The copic card I like to use is X-press it and can be found here at Sir stampalot
and I use memento ink to stamp with.
