How to use the Colour Spritzer Tool!
The Colour Spritzer Tool gives you another great way to use your Stampin' Write markers.
It can create nice background detail on card or add more concentrated spots of colour, depending on how close to the paper you hold it.
To use the colour spritzer tool you place the marker in the tool barrel with the paint brush end of the marker touching the spritzing point as shown in these photos:
You hold the pen at an angle of 80 degrees from your card. Enclose the entire bulb of the tool with your hand and squeeze strongly. This will blow air from the bulb across the marker tip and transfer a small amount of the ink colour onto your card.
You can vary the distance of your marker from the card to change the concentration of colour. Close to the card is concentrated, further away is a softer look, as shown:
Here is a close up where I used spritzing on the base card to give some detail:
And the completed card:
If you already have Stampin' Write Markers this is another way to get more use out of them. Why not consider adding a colour spritzer tool to your next Stampin' Up! order.
