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

Oh, hi! I'm back with another card using the Crafty Friends set by Paperie Ink . . . and boy, oh boy. . . my markers just did not want to blend! But, I just kept going and was pretty happy with how the end result turned out.

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:
