GC62 Marker challenge

Using markers for coloring an images IS a challenge for me. I prefer colored pencils that are soft and blendable, markers always seem so flat, or the stroke marks turn me off. Today I started with a glossy cs and three colors of pink and really practiced blending with them. This has really given me a deep appreciation for the cards that all of you make with markers. This card took me almost all day to complete! I guess I could break down and try some Copinks, my old Tombows are a little hard to work with. Any other suggestions, leave them in my comments I really would like to know what all of you "ink" girls use.

This card is Beautiful! You did Great with the markers! LOVE it.
I too, am more comfortable with my Prismacolor pencils, but have Tombows too, that I will occasional use.
I also have a few of the Prismacolor Premier alcohol markers, rather than Copics, but I sure need practice/tips for using them.

I use a Niji Waterpen and ...*ahem* crayola markers. Get pretty good results too.
