Color Sharp Metalics

These markers are my "Old Faithfuls" when it comes to writing and crafting.I've had them for nearly three years now.From the picture you can see that the lables are pretty much worn out, but these markers just keeps giving and giving!

I originally picked these up for scrapbooking, and constantly use them for filling out cards, card-making, decorating stationery, making posters, and really anything that requires a good permanent pen and a splash of colour.

These markers are twin-tip, making them endlessly useful!The top is a medium-sized marker, while the bottom contains a fine-tip, pen-sized marker in the same great colour.They dry almost immedialy, and leave behind text that is vibrant, shiny, and eye-catching.The five pack I bought includes gold, silver, and deep shades of green, blue, and purple.

The only "bad" thing you need to know about these is that they are permanent ink, and not acid-free.So even though I mentioned scrapbooking, you will want to avoid using these to write directly on photos as they may damage the picture in the long-term.

That aside, I just love these things!And for the amout I've used them over the years, they don't owe me anything.I wouldn't hesitate for a minute to buy another pack of Color Sharp Metalics from RoseArt.

Update On Oct 25, 2009: Added another picture of these markers in their original packaging.I just bought another set so I can get started on making my Christmas cards! :)
