Blendabilties

Stampin Up announced at Leadership in January that they would be coming out with a new marker that would allow shading and highlighting. The new marker collection is called Blendabilities. It comes in 12 colours and each colour has 3 shades to allow shadow and highlighting. I was very excited about this announcement. Having painted for 15 years I love the ability to shade and highlight and to this point Stampin up products have not been able to do this. I have gotten 6 shades of the new markers in and have been playing around with them. Here are a few samples that I am working on.
 The cake plate uses the Coastal Cabana combination and as you can see there are lots of shadow and highlight.
 This fun new stamp set called In This Together also uses several of the new colours and I had lots of fun adding in shadowing here and there.

Finally this ones shows the vividness and shadow/highlight the best. This stunning new stamp called Blended Bloom will be a hit when it comes out as you can really see the colour gradation in the three samples. I am planning to have a try it night here at the studio, anyone can come and make a sample or two and from there decide if you would like to be part of the Blendabilities Club. This club will run for a year with participants getting one colour family each month.
