Step-by-step
Step 1
In our photo, you can see the Colour Happy Big Box opened up to show its wide range of contents. We’re confident that our box has something for every craft lover and every taste. The most useful pens for your holiday planner are the edding 55 fineliner, the edding 1800 profipen and the edding 1340 colour pens.
Step 2
Decide on your page layout and sketch it out lightly in pencil first. In our example, we’ve spread the holiday month across two pages. It’s best to make the headings bold and striking – and remember to leave enough space for your detailed planning! Decorate the spread by filling in the spaces with sketches, e.g. maps or typical buildings (such as the Eiffel Tower shown here).
Step 3
Using either the edding 55 or the edding 1800, go over all the pencil lines and draw a few pictures, or emphasise individual strokes.
Step 4
Because the nib is so fine, it even makes light work of shading and detailed motifs. Use the 1340 brush pen or a different fibre pen to colour in the headings and add extra touches of colour any way you like... let your imagination run wild!
