It’s Technique Tuesday! Today we are going to talk about when to blend and when not to and what tools to do so.
When you are trying to color you want to think in opposites.
The staz-on ink is alcohol-based so you want to use this permanent ink when coloring with the stampin’ write markers which are water-based.
The memento ink is more of a permanent water-based ink that you would use with the stampin’ blends or alcohol-based markers.
If you want a smeared look, or in this case the color to float through the image, then you can use a blender pen, aqua painter, or wink of stella with the classic ink pads. This allows the ink to float or smear and give the appearance of a water color without adding much water or liquid to the page. The card on the right is stamped the same as the one on the left. I used night of navy classic ink pad to stamp the image and then used the wink of stella to float the color.
I hope this guide helps you to know which ink to use when. If you have any questions please contact me.
Happy Crafting!
With inky fingers,
Joni 🙂
