Prima Marketing Watercolor Pencils and Watercolor Brush Pens

I'm in love!!

Prima Marketing revealed so many great new products at CHA 2015 but this has to be my absolute favourite - Watercolor Pencils (in six different color-themed sets) and Watercolor Brush Pens.

The Watercolor Pencils are fabulous for coloring your stamps. The beautiful pigment colors cover every theme under the sun! There's even a Julie Nutting skin and hair tones set - just perfect for your Julie Nutting Doll Stamps!

Check out the different sets available......

And for blending your watercolor pencil colors? Watercolor Brush Pens of course!!

Simply add water to the brush and blend your colored areas for a perfectly blended watercolor effect...

Did I mention that I'm in love?

Prima Marketing Watercolor Pencils and Watercolor Brush Pens are expected to arrive in Aunty Vera Land mid to late February.

Can't wait!!

Distress! Yep, it's a word we all know and love, and Ranger will be releasing a new colour to the product line EVERY MONTH over the course of 2015! Each new Distress colour will be available in 6 products: Ink Pad, Reinker, Marker, Stain, Spray Stain, and Paint. What a fun way to build on your collection!!

January's colour is Cracked Pistachio. Doesn't it look just yummy!!!!!
