[Bubble-Deb]

Has anyone tried out the Colour Soft Pencils yet? If so how do you like them and what to you use to blend them with - Sansodor?

Thanks

I bought a box set of 72 half price (£50) in Hobbycraft this week as had been advised that these were as good as Prismas. I am sat here colouring in some Sugar Nellie stamps on very smooth card and Sansador and really pleased with the result. Had tried a different thinners but it wasn't as good as Sansador.
Have never tried Prismas for a comparison, but am happy with what I got.

I think it's Derwent

[Minty Magic]

Yes it is Derwent. Bubble-Deb where are you in Dorset? There is a Hobbycraft in Longham, Ferndown.

Hi Claire - I'm in Weymouth so I think the closest would be Bournemouth.

[Bubble-Deb]

Claire - just this minute had a phone call back from Hobbycraft and yes I have ordered them - yeaaaaaaa.

Thanks for the info you are a gem

[Minty Magic]

I think you will love them. Make sure you get Sansador though as I have foudn it does make all the difference and really smooth card.

[Bubble-Deb]

Thanks for that Claire I do have the sanodor already - i used to use it with oil pastel crayons - but now I have succumbed to the colour soft, lol, lol.

Really looking forward to playing with them - have a lot to learn.

I am finding that practice makes perfect (well almost!!!)

[Bubble-Deb]

I'll be practising soon too Claire. yeaaa can't wait. But I have family coming to stay for the week so i will have to be even more patient...!

I AM LOVING THESE PENCILS!!! Have coloured in 2 Penny Black stamps tonight that I have previously done in watercolours and they look 200% better in the Coloursoft pencils.

No, seriously - am sooo pleased for you and I wil have to be patient and wait for mine. But back to work tomorrow and family coming to stay any hows so that will take my mind of them, lol.

[Bubble-Deb]
