What about Tint and Tone?
Well spotted! The new Tint and Tone set is so innovative we felt it deserved a little more explanation.
The Tint and Tone set includes three Sparkle Brush Pens, designed to blend with any of the other colours to create lighter or darker shades. This clever set will open up a whole kaleidoscope of new colour from deep atmospheric shade and light and subtle tone – there’s no limits!

And let’s not forget the Clear Overlay Set! With three Crystal Clear Sparkle Brush Pens, this set is the perfect way to blend your sparkle colours without diluting their effect. And if there’s a flat colour that is the absolute perfect shade for your artistic creation, you can use a Crystal Clear Sparkle Brush pen to add an extra shimmering layer!
How to use Spectrum Noir Sparkle Brush Pens:
- Remove lid and yellow seal then tighten barrel to break seal
- Shake pen vigorously to mix glitter and ink
- Gently squeeze the pen until ink moves into the clear chamber
- Stop squeezing and brush onto scrap card until ink floods the bristles (can be encouraged with gentle squeezes if required)
- Give a gentle shake (with the cap on) from time to time to keep ink and glitter well mixed
- May need gentle squeezing if left unused for an extended period of time
- DO NOT dip the Sparkle Pen into water as doing so will affect the formulation
As well as colouring, Sparkle Brush Pens are perfect for adding some lustre to your lettering and giving your embellishments some extra glitz and glamour to small embellishments for home décor, craft and art projects.
