All About Stampin' Blends Alcohol Ink Markers

Create an artist-quality color-blending experience with Stampin' Blends. These high-quality, dual-tip markers in Stampin' Up! Exclusive colors will open a whole new world of colorful creativity. Experiment by blending light and dark shades of the same color, or by blending colors with similar hues. Each individual marker includes both a thick tip and a brush end. Combo packs include a dark shade and a light shade. 

New colors continue to be added to the line and there are now 38 colors and a color lifter.

There are even new storage units for them!

General Rule of Thumb

With Blends, you generally color light to dark for blending. If you want more of a contrast, then begin with dark.

A Plethora of Colored Images

A couple of these cards were done this week with my new stamps, the others have been in my "to finish" tray. Do you have one of those? Let me guess, it collects things doesn't it? Things you don't even remember putting in there. I fished out 4 images from my "to finish" tray and made the cards very quickly. I need to search through that tray more often! As anyone who knows me, or follows my blog will tell you, I simply adore coloring. I often sit and color with my alcohol ink markers while watching TV with my husband at night.

After all the rainy gray weather last week, we finally a few days of blue skies and sunshine:) Today it is gloomy and gray again, but rain is good. I'm not so patiently waiting on the man in the big brown truck to bring my big order of new Stampin' Up! toys:) I wish he'd hurry. Gasp! he's here!!
