Guess what showed up at my house on Wednesday??? Here's a hint...
I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I've been to try the new Blendabilities!!! and to see the NEW IN COLORS and the NEW CATALOG in real life!!! I can happily say I sure wasn't disappointed in any of the above! Actually...they all exceeded my expectations! The new catalog is one of the best since I've become a demo (has it really been over 9 years now!?) and the new In Colors are just luscious...but the new Blendies were the first thing I had to try!
Let me start by saying that I have never used Copic markers, but I love to watercolor. So that being said, I cannot compare one to the other.
When coloring, I usually use the aqua painter and our inks and had nice results. However, if I wanted a deep, vibrant look to my watercoloring, this method would sometimes take a while to build up the color to be as deep as I wanted. With the Blendabilities it was so much quicker & easier to get beautiful, vibrant color. Here is a look at my first attempt at trying out these markers...
They are laid out in the order of how I tried them...I think, with each flower I colored, I improved a little bit on the blending. I could still go back and blend a little more if I wanted to. I stamped each image on Whisper White card stock using the Black Memento Ink pad. On the top right you can see a color swatch of each of the 3 markers. Here's a closer look at each one...
Now I need to get busy and make some cards using these colored images...but I just couldn't wait to share my first experience using the new Blendies with you.

OMG! Your flowers colored with the new blendabilities are beautiful. Your posting really helped me decide which colors to order because I felt overwhelmed with all of the choices not knowing what the end result would look like. Thank you!!!
These are lovely - nice blending and choice of accents! Thanks so much for sharing.
