Having some editing issues today, but the info is all here. 🙂 Enjoy!
Thanks for stopping by. I’m sure you are looking for pretty inspiration, and I just wanted to share that sometimes that quest for something pretty leads to some pretty tough issues…. like BG15 Various Ink Refill on the front of my favorite white vest. We won’t discuss how it happened. Made me so sad.
Luckily, a student in one of my Copic Certifications had tipped me off to Grandma’s Secret Spot remover. You can find it at Amazon or your local Michaels or Hobby Lobby. I got mine at Hobby Lobby. It was a in a little bin on the fabric cutting table – handy, I guess because they sell so much of it. The small bottle was something like $3 and change.
Here’s my vest after using this secret spot stuff. Forgive the photo lighting, the point is that the BG15 totally gone. Favorite white vest totally saved. I just followed the label instructions. I did have to repeat the process about 3 times, but it was very easy and very worth the $3 investment.
In other Copic news, the Winter Craft & Hobby Association (CHA) trade show is coming up and so we want to give you a sneak peek at what new things you can find in the Copic booth this year. Check back for more new products from Copic all weekend long!
