Memento Markers

[Jessica Fick]

We've had a lot of questions about which Memento Markers match the Stampin Up colors. I think most of the Memento colors are just slightly different than the SU ones, so they are a great addition to your collection... we always need more colors, don't we? lol!

Here's my suggestions for Coordinating the Memento Markers with the Stampin Up ones...

Rhubarb - Riding Hood Red; Bravo Burgandy (BB has more brownish tones than Rhubarb)
Rose Bud - a cross between Purely Pomegranate & Rose Red
Angel Pink - Pink Pirouette; Pretty in Pink
Sweet Plum - a shade darker than Perfect Plum
Lulu Lavendar - Lavendar Lace
Summer Sky - Bashful Blue
Paris Dusk - Brilliant Blue (Paris Dusk is a little darker, with more purple undertones)
Cottage Ivy - Garden Green
New Sprout - Certainly Celery
Desert Sand - Creamy Caramel
Potter's Clay - Really Rust
London Fog - Basic Gray
Lady Bug - Real Red
Tangelo - Tangerine Tango; Only Orange
Dandelion - YoYo Yellow
Cantaloupe - Summer Sun
Pear Tart - Kiwi Kiss
Bamboo Leaves - Always Artichoke
Bahama Blue - Tempting Turquoise (Bahama Blue is several shades darker than TT)
Danube Blue - Pacific Point
Lilac Posies - no SU match
Grape Jelly - Elegant Eggplant
Rich Cocoa - Chocolate Chip
Tuxedo Black - Basic Black

Thanks, Jessica! I am having fun with my markers. I love the tip sizes. Mostly I use the brush tip, but the fine tip is just the perfect size. I need to get some water color paper so I can use my water brush with them.

Thanks Jessica. I totally missed the set when I went to look. I only saw the price for individual markers.
