Just got my first wink of stella pen and I was testing it out. I think I love it! I started by just doodling on a scrap, then pulled out some 3x4 cards to decorate, then some die cuts and stickers...I'm not even working on a layout! I think I just like to make things sparkle and I can see that it's going to be well used. Anybody else have one?

Hi Amber! Seems you really love it! In that pace you will have to order another one!
I don't have one, but soon enough because just like you I love to make things parkle!
Post one of your work so we all can send you some love.

I adore my Wink of Stella pens! I have them in almost every colour but definitely find that I reach for the clear one the most! Just ordered another clear one the other day because I used it up making Christmas cards! For me these are an absolute MUST have! But I'm a bit of a bling junkie so that may be the reason why!

I love my colourless WOS pen! I was tempted to buy colours as well...but I'm not sure it's necessary. Would love a review from people who have the colours.

I LOVE my clear one! I use it to sparkle up plain thank you notes to my students when I'm too busy to make my own.  |

I have the clear, silver and gold brush pens.
Love the clear but probable won`t replace the other two.
BTW, I saw on Amazon reviews that the WOS brush pens could be refilled with water once when empty.
It`s true, they can. Bit more subtle glimmer but still very useable.

Good to know about the water refill. I see this one getting used up pretty quickly. It's just too fun! I only have the clear. Are the colored ones worth getting?

I just finally found a clear one in stock at a not so local SB store. I haven't tried it yet, though.

Definitely not necessary to buy the coloured pens. The clear is probably all you need. Thanks for the tip about adding water to an empty pen! It works like a charm! |

I thought exactly this, but I find the WOS to be glittery rather than pearlescent so I ordered a new one. But, having said this, I will be using my old one (when it runs out for the second time) to make a perfect pearls water brush too. Another thought for anyone who doesn't have a water brush for watercolouring, when one of your WOS brushes runs out you suddenly have a plain only water brush! Wish I had realized that before buying a ranger water brush! |

I have the koi brushes. They are much cheaper I think. I wonder if I could but fine glitter in one. Hmm. But then how does it stick. Is the liquid really just water? I guess glitter wouldn't work there isn't anything to adhere it.

I just got the clear one and have been busy adding sparkle to everything!
As far as refilling them, I wonder if some sort of sparkle mica powder would work?

I think that Jennifer McGuire or Kristina Werner used the black on a card and I loved the effect. The clear would have worked too, but you could really see that the black really made the details so much better. I don't think that I will get many of the colors, but black is definitely on my list!

Black? I didn't realize there was black. Adding that to my wishlist. Has anyone tried Wink of Luna?

I loved my clear pen so much that I got the hot pink and a black and LOVE them, too! It really is a different type of sparkle when you use them over either black on black or pink on pink, or even over another color!! I recently got the silver Wink of Luna pen, and tried it this weekend. LOVE it so far!! I used it to outline a flourishy shape, and it came out just beautiful! It would look great used for lettering, the way Kristina Werner did in her envelope lettering video. I'm probably going to use this as a GO-TO for coloring in tiny die cuts around the holidays, it's a gorgeous silver metallic, without being too glittery or shimmery. I love it! I hadn't thought about refilling the pens, but that is an EXCELLENT idea!! Thank you for whoever said that!!  |

I have the clear WOS and LOVE it! I recently used it on a die cut and layered it over DCWV patterned cardstock that had some glitter on it. My die cut looked just as good and sparkley as the professionally made DCWV paper!

I was just looking at those. Which pens do you use? The brush tip or marker, or are they the same? I'm confused.  |

I don't have any, but I was looking at them on Amazon. Don't know what a good price is as there were various prices.

Oh my goodness they are gorgeous! Now I know why I resisted them for so long. I want so many colors!!
A great place to find these are at Jet Pens. They ship free with only a $25 order.
