Hi fellow bloggers, I was recently asked if I would like
to road test some Marker Pens from a company called Chalkola Chalk Markers, so I had a look
at their link and found out these pens were Water Based and water reactive
whilst wet. The nibs can also be changed around and could be used on many
surfaces including Glass and Plastic, so how could I refuse trying them.
On this card I wanted to see how these pens would react
with water in making an arty back background on water colour card. I started by
scribbling a selection of colours onto my craft mat and added a spray of water
to them.
Although the colour of the pens muted slightly with some
water, you could still see the vibrancy from each colour and the lovely chalky
finish on the Watercolour card.
Next I added some splashes of colour using my Distress
Spritzer Spray I pulled the centre piece out with ease which normally holds the
Distress Pens so my Chalkola Marker fitted in with ease. These are so much
easier to use for adding the Splatter effect and a great range of colours.
I finished my card with die cut flowers and a sentiment
mounting on to black cardstock.
This card I wanted to give my usual shabby style too and
see how the markers looked shaded on my Die Cuts. On my card I have used Craft
Consortium's Wild Rose Paper Pad and added a selection of Cheery Lynn Dies.
I cut my Leaf Flourish out in White Cardstock and added
some of the Green Marker onto my die cut and sprayed with water. I love the
shaded marbled effect and chalky finish this gave to my Flourish perfect for
Shabby Chic feel.
My flowers I applied the same technique as on the
background of my first card adding Diamanté. I didn't have a small pink ribbon
so I coloured a white one in the same way I had my flowers running it through
my Ink on my craft mat and letting it dry.
I finished off my card with a shabby splattered feel once
again using my White Marker and Distress Spritzer Tool.
Thanks so much Chalkola for letting me road test these
super pens and I look forward to using them on future crafty projects.
