Paperie Ink Crafty Friends . . . Why Wouldn't My Markers Blend??

After I finished the card, I weighed my markers and lo and behold! Almost every marker I used for this card needed to be refilled. Here's a really good article about refilling markers and how much they should weigh.
And this is the scale I use to weigh my markers. You can see how it all came together in the video:
