Stampin' Blends vs. Stampin' Write Markers

 
Blends & Markers Picture.png
 

Sometimes there is confusion about what type markers to use for what purpose so I created this cheat sheet for you to use.  Below is a comparison between Stampin' Blends and Stampin' Write Markers.  Both have specific benefits and I'm not going to say one is better than the other.   I use both types regularly!

I love coloring with the Alcohol-Based Stampin' Blends but you can do some neat watercolor techniques with the Water-Based Stampin' Write Markers.

I hope you find this helpful.  This information is based on my own use and experience.
