Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a great weekend! The weekend flew by for me at the scrapbooking retreat a group of us went to. I think I got a fairly good amount finished but not as much as I wanted to get finished. Oh well. Anyways, last year when I got into calligraphy thanks to my sister, I saw a lot of the calligraphers using a blending palette for blending the Tombow Dual Brush Pens together so I decided to make myself one where it was big enough to color an entire page. So, let’s get started with how to make “Calligraphy Brush Pens Blending Palette…”

Step #1:
To start, I wrote out “Blending Palette” on my Canson Marker Paper. In order to give my saying here the blending look, I used the technique of going back and forth with the pen number of 679 on to Tombow Dual Brush pen number 761.
Step #2:
Next, since the self-laminating pouch I use is 8.5 by 11, I used my paper trimmer to trim down my 9 by 11 Canson Marker Paper to remove the excess white under my saying.
Step #3:
Once I had my Canson Paper the size I wanted, I removed the yellow strip off the self-laminating pouch as instructed for the first step. Then, I carefully placed my piece of Canson Marker Paper in place.
Step #4:
Once I made sure it was lined up where I wanted it, I carefully pulled the rest of the backing off to stick the rest down to my Canson Paper. While the backing was getting pulled off, I went along to also make sure it didn’t get any bubbles along the way.
Step #5:
After I had everything finished, I used my paper trimmer again to trim off the excess self-laminating pouch.
