Color-Spritzer Tool

[smallcity]

Hi
does anyone know if you can use the Stampin-Up spritzer tool with Tombow markers? It looks like you can but i am not really sure. Has anyone tried this?
i don't have any of the stampin up markers.
thanks for the help

I have tried Marvy markers w/ a brush tip (works okay) and Zig brush markers (not so great).


Does your demo own one? Maybe she could let you try out your markers on it.

Spritzer Tool? What am I missing?

It is on page 222 in the catalog. Item K
My demonstrator is pretty new so i don't think she knows.

There is a screw that you can tighten, so any standard size marker should fit. The question is, will it splatter effectively? Some inks are ''juicier'' than others.

I use it with my Tombows all the time. You have to put the blowing tip right against the marker. Depending on how old your markers are you may have to squeeze a few times to get it started. I don't have any SU markers so have nothing to compare it to, but I love it. A step up from Crayola blow pens!

I use it with my Le Plume, Tombow, SU and Ranger markers!

If it does not spit right, I spray a bit of Perfect Ink Refresher on the tip and spray away!

I've been thinking about purchasing that little guy, do you all think it's worth it?

I have also been thinking of it - curious to ease of use, frequency - is it a must have? post your creations used with this tool.

You will love using this tool. I got mine right after I started stamping about 4 or 5 years ago. SU sold this tool then under the name Air Art Tool and then it disappeared for a while. Never found it anywhere else until SU brought it back. I love mine and use it all the time. Carry it in my travel bag always! Here are a couple of recent cards I have made using this tool....it makes all the little speckles in the backgrounds.

I think it really adds to the cards and can't imagine not having this tool. Itty Bitty Backgrounds has a stamp that I sometimes use for a similar effect but I like how you can adjust how much coverage you get with this tool by changing what part of the marker tip is placed against the tool.

Thanks Lynnor :-D

I used it for the first time last Saturday night at a card class (not from my regular demo).

I loved it. It was very easy to use and I like how you can create a background with it and you can make it as subtle or as noticeable as you want.

Thanks girls, I wonder if it will work with the Paintastics paint pens, they are really juicy ans I think if they fit would be perfect with this, anyone tried?

[GreenDragonLady]

I also use my spritzer tool with no marker in it to blow away excess embossing powder. It works great because you can put the tip really close to the area.

[lindsaymay]

great tip! I keep a small paint brush for that but I always wip away something I didn't mean too;)

I know this is an older thread but EXCELLENT tip! Thanks!

I find you have to refresh the marker so it is rather wet or the spritzer tool won't work. Personally, I don't find it worth the effort for the effect of the tool.
