Metallic markers Astra set of 2 — gold and silver, alcohol-based pigment ink, marker pens for crafts and lettering

Astra metallic markers set contains two marker pens in gold and silver filled with alcohol-based pigment ink formulated for opaque, reflective strokes. The set is intended for creative and decorative work on paper, cardboard and other porous surfaces where metallic accents are required. The quick-drying pigment ink produces consistent coverage on light and dark backgrounds and is suitable for both detailed lettering and broader decorative lines.

Advantages

The alcohol-based pigment ink delivers rich metallic opacity that remains visible on dark papers and cardstocks. Markers in gold and silver provide consistent flow and reflective finish without excessive bleeding on standard porous surfaces. Their tip design allows controlled line work for lettering, embellishments and small-area filling while drying fast to reduce smudging during craftwork.

Suitable for

• Hand lettering and calligraphy on greeting cards and invitations
• Scrapbooking and photo album decoration
• Embellishing gift tags, packaging and paper crafts
• Art and DIY projects requiring metallic highlights

Key specifications

• Set contents: 2 marker pens (gold, silver)
• Ink type: alcohol-based pigment ink with metallic effect
• Suitable surfaces: paper, cardboard and other porous materials
• Finish: opaque reflective metallic
• Drying: quick-drying for reduced smudging

How to use

Shake each marker before use to evenly mix the metallic pigment. Test the marker on a scrap piece of the same material to check flow and opacity. Apply with light, steady strokes for lettering or hold at a slightly lower angle for broader decorative lines. Allow the ink to dry fully before stacking or handling the finished piece to avoid transfer or smudging.

Usage recommendations

For best results use on clean, dry porous surfaces such as quality paper and cardstock; on very dark or coated papers, perform a small test first. Cap markers tightly after use and store horizontally to maintain even ink distribution. Avoid using on non-porous plastics or glossy surfaces where alcohol-based pigment may not adhere properly.
