Ribbon Causes in October with Chameleon Pens
Ribbon Causes in October with Chameleon Pens is what we have for you today.
Many are aware that Breast Cancer Awareness is in October but
Did you know there were multiple other Awareness causes in the month of October?
There are numerous Ribbon Causes in October including Depression, Down Syndrome, Cultural Diversity to name a few. Today we are going to be coloring an Awareness Ribbon from Awareness Ribbon Set #1. We are highlighting three causes. Depression which is represented by the color green. A second cause is Down Syndrome which is represented by the color blue and yellow. The third cause we are coloring a ribbon for is Cultural Diversity which is represented by the color Orange. We also have an awesome giveaway so be sure that you are a subscriber to our blog as well as a YouTube Subscriber so that you can qualify for our giveaway!
Now, onto coloring!
We are going to start coloring with green for Depression Awareness as one of the Ribbon Causes in October.
This is something that I personally suffer from as do some of my loved ones. Clearly this Awareness Cause is very close to my heart and personal to me.
To start, we are going take off the cap off of the bullet nib side.
I prefer the bullet nib side for coloring for this project.
Take the blending solution cartridge and place it on the side of the bullet nib.
Check to be sure that the blending solution nib as well as the bullet nib are touching so that the blending solution can transfer nibs.
Hold your Chameleon Pen upright for 10-15 seconds.
Remove the blending solution cartridge and set aside. Notice how the nib is lighter in color on the tip versus further down on the nib.
Color your Awareness Ribbon where you would like the highlighted (light source area) colored.
For the next step, I personally outline my images and then fill them in. It’s something my paternal Grandmother taught me and I still continue to do it now as an adult.
Fill in the color the rest of your image.
Now, we will be coloring an Awareness Ribbon for Down Syndrome as one of the Ribbon Causes in October.
My God Daughter has Down Syndrome so this cause is very near and dear to my heart. I colored the right side of the ribbon blue and am coloring the left side of the ribbon yellow.
This is the ribbon with the coloring complete.
Lastly, we will be coloring an Awareness Ribbon orange for Cultural Diversity as one of the Ribbon Causes in October. Something that I think is very important especially in the current climate of the world.
I have already placed my blending solution on the top of the nib for approximately 10-15 seconds. As you can see it is lighter in color.
We colored the highlighted area of this ribbon and are now outlining the ribbon and will be coloring it in.
This is the finished ribbon.

To qualify, you must be a YouTube subscriber and Sign Up for our Blog/Newsletter list. That is it!
I don’t remember exactly who actually showed me how to color for the first time but I have a very fond memory to share. My paternal Grandmother and I used to color. I remember her showing me how to outline the item I am coloring and then fill it in with color. I remember this and still do it! Well, sometimes I get a little to excited about coloring and go outside of the lines…. YES, I KNOW! Usually it is on something that I have been coloring on for a while and I am at the last finishing touches and the mistake happens!
Now, for the creative stuff….let’s get started. I am so excited about showing you this. It is SO SIMPLE and super helpful!
I am going to be coloring the Awareness Ribbon with the Chameleon Pen PK3. You will want to take out your pen and take teh bullet nib cap off and set it aside. Place the blending solution chamber on top of the nib ensuring the nibs are touching. Wait 10-15 seconds.
I took off the blending solution chamber and begin coloring your image with the lightest (light source) place first.
OH NO! I made a mistake… lol
Take out your colorless blender pen. I use the bullet nib unless there are really small areas in which I would then use the brush nib.
Using the colorless blender pen, “push” the ink that you want to remove toward the colored area. For deeper pigmented colors, you may have to repeat or it is possible you will not be able to get all of the color off depending on the color saturation.
Here are the beginning results using the colorless blender.
Here you can see where the color has dissipated.
In this picture, I have colored the ribbon slightly outside of the stamped image at the top as shown above.
Using the colorless blender, I am slowly using the bullet nub and pushing it toward the line.
This is the result! Looks great!
We hope you enjoyed learning How to correct your Chameleon Pen coloring MISTAKE! This will work with ANY ALCOHOL MARKER MISTAKE I just used the Chameleon Pens as an example. It will also be difficult to completely get rid of the pigment if it is a very dark color as stated above.
Thank you for going on A Creative Journey with Melissa
