Meet your other host and Copic marker no-line technique specialist! Meadow has gained her passion for stamps and creating from her mother, who also teaches at NCCR.
Meadow has been using Copic markers and creating cards since she was 7 years old. Her style is no-line, all the way, her coloring, and soft, awe-inspiring cards. She has been on design teams such as A & M Memories, Aurora Wings, Coffee Loving Paper Crafters, and of course Crafty Stamp Co. which she co-owns with her mother.
If Meadow is not spending time with her Bunny, Lollie, she is crafting, or scoping out Pinterest.
