Hello and welcome to our fourth and final Friend Friday with Chameleon! We have had so much fun using these fabulous markers this month. Be sure to head over to their blog, where the Chameleon design team is coloring Hero Arts images, too! And of course there are prizes – keep reading to the end of this post for more information. Now let’s join Libby as she shares her creation using the amazing Chameleon pens!

Hello hello! I’m thrilled to be joining you today for our “Friend Friday” post, using Chameleon markers! These pens are new to me, so I’m still getting the hang of it. But I am loving it!! They make color gradation and blending so easy! For my card, I thought it would be fun to make a celebration card. I have some party animals ringing in the new year!

Party Animals by Libby Hickson for Hero ArtsI used my favorite little bunny from Hipster Animals and his matching die. The Chameleon colors I used were CG8 Cool Gray and PK3 Bubble Gum on the bunny, as well as BL3 Sky Blue on the drink. The little martini glass and message are from the Cocktail Party stamp and die set. I popped up a few of the bunnies and drinks with foam tape for added dimension (and fun!).

I added just a touch of glitter glue to the glasses as well as black Glaze pen to the bunny’s eyes – a detail that shows more in person than I could capture in the photos. I love the ombre effect on the banner – it was so easy to create using these markers! That banner is from the November My Monthly Hero add-on stamp and cut set Little Messages, I use this die all the time!
