Hi Lynn

I think they might be water based, because you can water colour so nicely with them. I’ve got a few Pro markers and will test them later. I reckon because of the glitter, that I would stamp and colour in with the pro markers and use the Wink of Stella’s as the last step. The Wink of Stella’s shouldn’t move the pro markers but just so I didn’t transfer surface glitter onto the pro markers

They are every bit as good as Stickles for the glitter quality, its a fine ground glitter like Art Institue do, very pretty.

Great video Billie.
Have you tried the pens with any other types of marker pens? Just wondered how they react with them. Although as you can watercolour with them they shouldn’t react badly with something like ProMarkers for example.
Definitely something to put on my wish list as they sem to be a big improvement over gel pens:)

Many thanks

Hi Billie -

Great video – thank you for posting it. I LOVE that you can use it over the dye inks and it won’t bleed. That if fabulous news. That was always one of the drawbacks of the Stickles. I always had to use an acrylic spray or Judikin’s Micro Glaze on it before I could use Stickles. It will be nice not to have to do that extra step.
I also really, really like that you can use them like a watercolor and not lose the glitter. That is going to be really fun to try. Now I just have to wait until they are available to me – LOL!
Have a wonderful weekend sweetie and thanks for the video.

Elaine
