Then I saw them demonstrated at the Stamperama show last weekend, had a little try, and walked away with a pack of 6 plus 3 singles. It's the vibrancy of colour, the blendability and the smooth feel of the tip that sucked me in.
For this card I used a Concord and 9th flower stamp and Waffle Flower sentiment. The flower was stamped onto textured card and coloured with the Zigs. I did add some tiny drops of Glossy Accents to the big flower middle, but you can barely see them in real life, let alone in the photo!
I also tried colouring the flower using Zigs and spraying it with water:
 |
| Zigs and water |
For comparison I also coloured the same image in some different mediums:
 |
| Promarkers (alcohol marker) |
 |
| pencils and solvent |
I like this stamp coloured by any of these methods ( these panels could well make it onto other cards) but I do think the Zigs give a slightly different look.

The pens look like a good buy Marina and you certainly used them in a beautiful way with the terrific card
Love Chrissie xx
Oooh... The result is gorgeous! I can see why you were swayed to buy them ... I'm trying to resist but it's hard when I see something this lovely!
I've been trying to convince myself that I don't need them either, but the more I see them on blogs the harder it is! They really do look great on your sample, I can feel my resolve weakening!
Enjoyed the comparisons. Wow amazing first card, vibrant colours and fabulous flower stamp x
I love Zigs too~~!! These cards are brilliant! :)

That Zig+water is very cool-looking... those spots give a little dimension. I do like how you've shown the other mediums... I love the empirical process!
Different coloring mediums do have a big impact, this post made me realize how much. They look fabulous all of them, but different. Love this flower stamp and your clean, classy layout!
Marina this is stunning! I can see why you bought them. I just bought aquarel paint but the ZIG pencils are still on my wishlist.....so tempting.....:)
so pretty...I have that stamp on my wish list.
