\nDid you miss me ??<\/div>\n
\nI sure did miss all of you..<\/div>\n
\nAnd no I am not going to present an ode to the japanese sakura flowers but I thought you might be interested in knowing about my reviews on pens from Sakura and the touch markers from Shinhan<\/a>. Both the products are available in the store. <\/div>\n
\nI am a novice in marker based colouring so your ideas, opinions and feedbacks are always invited. <\/div>\n
\nLets focus on the principle topic here..I have Sakura Microns, Sakura Stardust pens, Glaze pens, calligraphy brush pens<\/a> and so on and I love them all. Sakura Micron pens remain my best purchase till  date since they are so buttery when I write, defined and come in 5-6 different nib thickness and best of all they are waterproof. <\/div>\n
\nSo the issue here was, I own a laser printer which uses powder ink and which I gather is heat set on paper. The digital stamp from Tiddly inks did not print well due to low ink.<\/div>\n
\nWhat did I do ??<\/div>\n
\nI used my 0.5 Micron to redo the outline<\/b>. If there were any reservations regarding how the sketch markers would behave with laser print, they were gone!!<\/div>\n

\nI wrote the pup’s name next to the pup image (tiddlyinks). <\/div>\n
\nThe gifts in wryn’s hands were coloured using Sakura stardust<\/a>. I love the gentle shimmer they give when you write with them. The shades are vibrant. <\/div>\n

\nAs for the colours, the touch markers were used to colour the image. I adore the image and loved colouring with them. They blend easily and I think it was a wise decision on my part to start with Shinhan markers<\/a> and then progress towards the mighty copics. <\/div>\n
\nI don’t have a large collection of these markers but I have the basics and they work well together. I did not use any special paper, but thick white cardstock was fair enough and it absorbed the colours without leakage. For a first attempt I guess they should do. \ud83d\ude42 They are cheaper than copics and should be good to practise. <\/div>\n
\nAlso I have been planning to invest in Distress Markers<\/a> for their gorgeous palette… Lets see. For now I am in love with sketch markers more than anything. \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n

\nThe gorgeous chevron pattern paper is from Sassafras Count me in wee bundle<\/a> which I totally adore. Again my obsession with MS doily lace punch<\/a> is apparent. It does not seem to get over. I even made a matching envelope. \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n

\nI hope you like the card and also …just a favour you guys. Can you tell me what is my crafting style ? If you have known me for long and seen my creations you may be able to tell. <\/div>\n
\nBecause I have been on my quest to find an answer .. \ud83d\ude09<\/div>\n
\nAnd for all I know …you guys are the best at analysis.<\/div>\n
\nTill then keep shopping at Craft Adda<\/a>. \ud83d\ude00 <\/div>\n
