You should definately have a play with them.... They are nice to use

They are so much fun dry..... Can't wait to see your pages......Hehe I had to add it in as it was the only page I had used them on

Hi hun.... Thank you so much... Glad you enjoyed it.... You will love those crayons I think..... Please show me whatever beautiful page you make.... Yes the makeup brushes have really changed the annoyance of blending for me too

Hehe that deadly wish list.... Yes I have so much trouble finding an enjoyable way to do backgrounds...... Loving these

You are so welcome hun thank you for leaving kind comments 💕

Ooooh I will go add those to my list 😜

Hi hun..... Thank you for watching ❤️

Hope you enjoy using them as much as I have 😁

Hi hun...... Yes I do like them and they are a nice budget price too so its a nice item to play and practice with without stress.... Hope you love them hun

Hi hun.... I am working on a page now so that I can do the background on camera when it's done.... I tend to do the backgrounds after I like the darkening effect so doesn't bother me..... Thank you so much I try and behave but I am just not a serious person lol 😁

Yes they are nice... Can't wait to work with them dry

They are a lovely cheap way to dip your toes in 😉

Lol I gave fallen for that before too.... Decided crafting isn't for me then found coloring..... Face-palm.... Definately never giving my stuff away again lol.... Hope you love the silky crayons.... I am on Instagram so show me your work with them always love to see it

i have a video showing the distress cayons with water up on my channel if that is helpful

Hi hun... Thanks so much..... Ooh yes I am loving these and think they will be great for amazon paper too.... I am actually excited for backgrounds now..... So pleased

What type of make brushes are you referring too? Eye shadow applicators or blending brushes for eyeshadow and blush? I have stencil brushes and also use regular water brushes and paint brushes for the crayons but those give a different effect or look of course. Would like to try application with make up brushes as you mentioned. The thing that irks me about coloring and mixed media is all the extra accessories that goes along with it all. I mean it's not a necessity but having all the extras help. I just feel like at what point does it end? Now I'm also interested in distress inks as well and of course you have to have those foam blenders to use them. And not just one type of foam blender but several for each color ink and depending on what size of area you want to do. I probaly have more accessories to do actual mixed media and coloring then I do art supplies. I wonder if any one else ever feels this way about this hobby or recreation?

Yes I know exactly what you mean... I use the makeup / craft brushes that come with the long handles and Round head of bristles.... I will find the link for you and add it in to the video description for this video for you..... On the plus side I have also used these to blend out distress crayons and they work lovely for that as well

@@blankmission5369 Hi Blank Mission, at time 4:50 Emmal holds those Make up brushes into the camera, so that you can have a look. These are not eye shadow applicators. These are make up applicators. I found a set on Amazon which is called oval makeup brush set from EmaxDesign. Maybe Emma can tell you, which set she is using. We both really like this brush set for applying the Gelatos in a smooth way. And the best thing is, I personally think, thet they also work like a dream for Distress Inks. To be honest, I also was always hesitant because of the foam blenders. Because I couldn't get a smooth result and I didn't want to have a blender for every color I use. But those makeup brushes you can just clean them with water.

@@emmacolours2020 oh thank you for the Iink. I have seen those before. I was just confused because in these comments you both were referring to them as makeup brushes. I will probably end up getting these as well at some point to add to my arsenal. They look very helpful. Thanks again.

Hi there....... I use mine dry with a draft brush and they have stayed in place fine so far

I have the neo 2.... I ll have a look at the marabou..... Thank you for the recommendation 😁

I feel like the dyes or inks are the same too to be honest

@@emmacolours2020 I’ve been watching Karen Valentine, and she recommends using very short bristled stencil brushes for the gelatos, she does beautiful pages and very beautiful backgrounds! Very delicate and diffused. She has a video trying the gelatos with a dog toothbrush! Zucchinikitty is a master coloring with the distress inks, right? I love how she can color a page so fast and get such a beautiful result!

Yes Karen valentine does the most beautiful pages with them.... And Zucchinikitty is just ridiculously good at stuff lol..... Love to watch them both.... I just need to practice more with the brushes I think

Of course these are the new set I got.... www.amazon.co.uk/Cooraby-Blending-Brushes-Colorful-Application/dp/B08KZF31TL Hope you enjoy using them

@@emmacolours2020 thank you that’s really helpful!

Your very welcome

You will love them.... I hope lol

Hubby just rolling his eyes at me "oh look that's those make up brushes, 10pc for only 8 pound baba" 😂 .. so ummm those are also arriving tomorrow.

Haha....... I do exactly the same he just wanders off now..... Hope you love them... You will have to show me your background 😁

I have been moving rooms about and cant find my log in for my insta, and the phone it's on is broke! As soon as I find that little bit of paper I can hopefully get back on.

Oh no so annoying 😒

I ve never used any and found they stay just fine

Awesome! I've just realised a load of art companies and amazon won't ship fixative to me cause it's an aerosol, these seem the perfect affordable alternative for backgrounds

Oh.... I suppose that makes sense..... Then yes I never fix these in my books so you should be fine

Of course hun will add a usage video to my list 😁 although I am no expert lol.... But they are lovely and easy to use

@@emmacolours2020 Thanks so much :)

Of course.... it's my pleasure

Thanks for watching hun 😁
