Default If you use Sharpies for coloring stamps,

Staples will have a 24 pack on sale for $7.99 on Thursday only. In store and online. Is that a good price? Says regularly $19.99. Just a heads up.

I am not sure you can really use Sharpies to color the stamps. I don't think the ink will stay "wet" long enough to get a good impression.

What I meant, and did not say very well, is to color after you have stamped the image.

I'm not a great colourer, but I have used them. I used them because I wanted to colour on glossy paper and on acetate. Have fun!

You should not use sharpies to color stamps, sharpies are permanent markers and the ink will not come off

That's a great price! Thanks. I think I'll pick up a pack to have when my current ones run out. I think they will stay moist if they're not opened.

I have the Sharpies, and the Bics and use them with a few Copics to color all my images. I like them fine, and especially when I think about how much a huge set of Copics would be.
