Hi Everone,


Tombow Dual Brush Makers have been the go-to marker for South African cardmakers and scrapbookers alike.  Robyn Anderson, our local lettering expert has been twisting my arm for a while to stock the Tombow Dual Brush Markers.  Having never used it before, I decided to give it a go ...

What a pleasure it was!  These markers have excellent durable nibs - flexible nylon fibre brush tip on one end that creates medium or bold strokes and a fine tip on the other end for smooth straight lines or writing. The ink is water-based ink and is blendable, odourless and non-bleeding - available in 95 scrumptious colours and a blender.

I had the best results on watercolour paper, but loved the effect in my art journal with it's  Modigliani 200GSM Mixed Media paper.

Stamp poppies (Stampendous Cling Rubber Stamp - Pretty Poppies CRS5096) with Ranger Archival Ink Watering Can. This stampset also includes the masks.
 
Start with the darkest colour for the shaded areas #879 Brown, next #837 Wine Red and then the lightest colour #856 Chinese Red.

Blend with water, from the lightest to the darkest. 

Colour the leaves starting again with the darkest colour for the shaded areas #346 Sea Green, next #277 Dark Green and the lightest colour #195 Light Green.

Blend with water, this time from the darkest to the lightest colour.
