i love the whisper pens too I also picked up a pack of 2 blending pens by whispers which i use when i dont want to get the sansador out or want a change. really nice altho it sometimes takes abit of the card off if i get lazy.

love the book, cards and calendar from the old thread

forgot to say that i love that the blending pen is just like the whisper pens and has a supa fine tip as well as the thick/brush tip

I have a "water blending pen" its green - dont know the make - but too much water comes out of it and messes up my paper.

Talking of which - what type of card do you stamp/paint onto?? I found most bog standard card stuck just breaks up the minute I start getting it damp! Is this just the pen - or should I be using a better cardstock?

And I'm such a twit - I have a set of water colour paints from many moons ago sitting in my cupboard - I could use these to "colour in" couldn't I !!! Durr!! Although I think I need some new brushes first!!

Lol you lot make me giggle, thanks for that, lol

I use Prismacolor pencils with sansador (which I just got) as already have zest it, am trying them both out to see which I prefer.

I am going to be investing in some Copic Ciao markers soon though as somebody mentioned a great shop that you can buy them online in the UK and they are a super price. I do have about 12 of the Stampin Up markers, and have to say I like those as well. I also use watercolour pencils but do prefer my Neocolour II watercolour crayons of which I have a about 10-12 different colours, but these are just gorgeous.

I combined my Cricut with Magnolias to make a little matchbox to hold ATCs. It's here if you would like to look.

For watercolours I use the Koi aqua brushes - they are the best I've found so far.

For watercolouring I use either the card I get from Paper Mill, or actual watercolour paper - Partners the Stationer do some of their own brand watercolour pads that work really well and aren't overly expensive.

At the moment, WHS are doing pads of Daler Rowney watercolour card at £4.99 for 50 sheets. It's lovely stuff - 250gsm and nice and thick. And the good thing is that because it is 12x9 inches, rather than A4 size, you can make matching square 6x6 card blanks from it as well.
