Chameleon Pens- 3 Marker Card

Greetings friends.  All this month, the Impression Obsession Design Team has been having fun with Chameleon Pens.  For each Friday in April, various members of the Impression Obsession team have shared projects using Chameleon pens and the Chameleon team shared projects using Impression Obsession stamps.  You can visit the Impression Obsession blog to see all the projects we have done this month. 

Be sure to also visit the Chameleon Blog to see their teams projects and enter for a chance to win a set of 5 Chameleon pens!

For my card today, I only used three different pens to get all the various shades on my sunflower.  Here are the colors I used:

When you use Chameleon pens, you are able to get a gradient of color using only one pen.  Therefore, I used the yellow to color all of my petals, the green for the leaves and stem, and the brown for the center of the flower.  It is kind of nice to use one marker instead of multiple pens to get light, medium, and dark shades on your image.  Here is a close up of my flower:

Impression Obsession and Chameleon Pens

For those of you who know me, you know that I absolutely love coloring.  I was really drawn to the new Dot Flowers E17025 because I knew it would work well with all sorts of coloring mediums...copics, watercolor pencils, Prismacolors, Twinkling H20's, etc.  In this case, I wanted to practice getting a gradient of color with my Chameleon pens.

For this card, the two flowers are both colored with the same PR4 Purple Grape pen.  I then added some of the NU3 Fawn marker on top of the one flower to give it some golden tones.  To accentuate the stems, I traced them with the YG3 Spring Meadow pen.

Of course, I am now dying to try the same flowers in yellow to make them look like black eyed susans.  A coloring fanatic's work is never done!

For today's card, I wanted to show you a couple of new butterflies that I colored with Chameleon pens.  Chameleon pen give you an ombre effect that I thought would work well with butterfly wings.  To finish the card, I added a saying as well as some rhinestones.
