Hello everyone! It’s Kelly Klapstein here today to share a couple of projects I made using Chameleon Pens! First is a card I coloured and demonstrated on Periscope last week.Β  You can click HERE to see the blog post with the video tutorial about this card.Creating and Coloring with Chameleon Pens: @csmscrapbooker @kellycreates @chameleonpens #chameleonpens #coloring #adultcoloring #zentangle #scrapbooking #card #coredinations

Did you know that Chameleon Pens has free downloads for colouring on their website PLUS Color Cards you can purchase? I have 2 sets… Flowers and Zen.

These Color Cards are so helpful and have pre-made samples inside to show you how to color and shade with the pens.

One tip I have is to use that Colorless Blender pen to help smooth the shading and color tones. So in the photo below, I add color gradations of purple to the tulip and then I blend with the Colorless Blender pen.

Also, I do not leave the color tip in the chamber for too long because it will really lighten up your color a LOT, and you will have to colour for quite awhile for the pigment to return to the nib.

You do not have to follow the color sample guides of the Color Cards exactly…I changed mine up a little.

I love the black detail pen that comes with the set too, and you can add extra details to the pre-printed images… or on my card I wrote a hand lettered sentiment “Thank You.” The detail pen has 2 tips, one on each end…. 4 mm and 6 mm.

For my next project, I made a scrapbook layout of my daughter and used the Color Cards as part of the design.Β  I just love how I can customize part of my layout by creating my own patterned paper with these Color Cards! The design is based on this month’s April Sketchy Challenge.

I coloured 2 of the ZEN Color Cards, with purple, blue and green Chameleon Pens.Β  Then I cut the cards in half.Β  If you look closely at this photo below, you can see that I used only TWO pens, the blue and purple, to create all those beautiful colour gradations on the Color Card.

I also hand lettered my title “One of a Kind” and did the journaling with the Chameleon black detail pen. This permanent ink does not bleed at all on the cardstock.

When placed on some complimentary coloured cardstock from Core’dinations, the whole design really pops!

Instead of stressing about finding the right piece of patterned paper for my photo and layout, I created my own using Chameleon Pens and Color Cards!
