Blue Crew Product Review: Distress Markers

Hey Everyone! The Blue Crew is Back with another Product Review just for YOU!

This Blue Crew Product Review is all about Distress Markers...

Tim Holtz Distress Markers are water-based inks for coloring, journaling, stamping and more. The dual tip markers are ideal for many coloring techniques. Distress Markers are available to match the Distress palette of 36 color and White Picket Fence.

• Acid free, non-toxic
• Available in Distress 37 color palette
• Available open stock or in canister set
• Use brush tip for coloring, stamping and shading

"I love the fact that they react with water but stay color pure!...They blend beautifully with the water pens by Ranger. I also love that the distress ink in the marker can be embossed when wet. One more plus...Distress Ink stays wet longer so I have more time to color my stamps with the markers....One hot breath and the ink is immediately re-activated! I get great results with my colored stamp every time!"  Miss Tracy

Here is a great video from the "Tim"ster himself about these fabulous markers...If you have a few minutes to spare...I highly recommend you watch it to learn more.

Thanks for reading and we hope you enjoy the video!
