The Dove Blender The Dove Blender Pen is a revolutionary new blending medium, specially formulated to make "floating " or blending color easy. The Dove Blender Pen will allow you to blend and shade colors, giving you endless variation. The Dove Blender works with all water based markers, watercolor pencils, watercolor paints, chalks, dye ink pads, and water based pigment ink pads. The Dove Blender is easily refillable and the nibs are replaceable. The Dove Blending Fluid will make your work permanent when it is allowed to dry. Helpful Blending Tips 1. Place several short strokes of any water based marker onto a white styrofoam plate or a plastic palette. Using the Dove Blender, pick up the marker color with the tip and apply it to the stamped image. 2. Some paper requires the Dove Blender to prep the area first before applying color. Simply take your blender with no color on it and moisten the desired area first. Then take your blender with color to the desired area. 3. Before changing colors, wipe the blender clean on a scrap piece of paper. Be careful not to pick up too much color. If there is too much simply wipe the blender tip on a scrap paper before coloring the image. The tip may look discolored, but if you rub the tip on scrap paper and it is clear, then it is clean. 4. When working with an intense color, take the Dove Blender right to the tip of the marker to lighten. By touching the tip of the marker with the blender, the marker color has transferred to the blender tip will be lighter in value. 5. For a realistic blended look, layer color on top of color. For example start with a marker color of light purple and then add a darker purple or blend colors on a palette, then apply to your image. 6. When using watercolor pencils, take the colors you are going to use and make a palette by scribbling a little of each color on a scrap piece of paper with all the colors. Then take your Dove Blender and pick up the color and apply to your image. Hint: Start with lighter colors first. When you are done there is no fixative needed because the blending medium in the pen does it for you. 7. When using chalks you can apply a little to the area you are coloring, or use an applicator and take the Dove Blender tip to pick up the color, then apply to image. You also can take the blender tip right to the chalk color. When you are done there is no fixative needed because the blending medium in the pen does it for you. 8. When using watercolor paint take the Dove Blender or a brush with the Dove Blending Fluid directly to the color or use a palette, and then pick up the color, and start coloring your image. When you are done coloring, the blending medium in the pen or the Blending Fluid on the brush will make your work permanent when it is allowed to dry. 9. When using your blender pen to apply Pearl-Ex you don't need to use a sealer. Just pick up a little bit of the powder with your blender pen and apply to the paper. 10. On glossy or coated papers apply the blender pen to the area to be colored first. The blender fluid you have applied will making application and blending of color easier. 11. When the Dove Blender becomes dry, simply pull the end cap off and add several drops of the Dove Blending Fluid in the pen. Be sure you only add drops, do not fill the the pen to the top. 12. When the Dove Blender tip becomes frayed, simply pull the nib out and replace it with a new one. Hint: Moisten the nib with some blending fluid so you can start coloring right away. Blending Techniques on Embossed Images With the tip of your water based markers, lay a hint of color on the actual embossed line (not on the paper but on the actual melted embossing powder line). The embossed lines serve as a palette, making it easier to move the color, thus eliminating a hard line created by the marker. Working in a circular motion and in small areas, use the Dove Blender to pull the color into the open area of the design. When this process is completed a light application of color will appear on the image. to prevent the color from appearing too washed out, continue to add more color using the marker and the Dove Blender until the desired depth of color is achieved. Start with lighter colors and then gradually add darker colors. Limit the colors being used. Three basic colors differing in intensity, plus variaition in value, will give life and interest to your stamped image.
