TIPS:
1. You might want to practice on a small piece of ribbon before you color it for your project. This will help you see the color you get. You can adjust the color in case it does not turn out the color you want. Also, check to see if you need to color just one side or both sides.
2. Markers in general. The color will get darker the more you color it. Check your sample to see if you need/want to color both sides of the ribbon.
3. Color with the side of your brush tip NOT the tip. You will damage the tip if you color ribbon with it. It will also take longer to color the ribbon with the thin surface of the Tip.
4. Stampin’ Write Markers. These markers color rather smoothly. The ink spreads slightly and blends easily.
5. Stampin’ Blends Markers. These markers color really smoothly. They also saturate the ribbon faster with ink.
Watch this Video if your ink pad or Stampin’ Write Markers need to be reinked. Stampin’ Blends Markers cannot be reinked.
