| There are so many ways to
embellish a page, or card. Embellishments are available in a variety
of materials, colors and sizes making it easy to find the perfect
accent for your project. Sometimes however, it’s fun to add
a little embellishing of your own. Ribbons added to chipboard shapes
and letters for example, or maybe a name or even the title to your
page with a pen or marker. Markers are fun to work with and provide
us with endless possibilities. There are so many colors and styles
to choose from and they are the perfect tool for doodling anywhere
and everywhere. However, it’s important to remember to choose
the marker or pen that will work best on the surface you have
chosen to embellish. Here’s a guide that you may find helpful,
but always test the marker or pen on your embellishment first.
