Saturday Seminar time again! and as a mixed media “artist” I love this topic! It’s all about inks, and stains, and Ink Pads and what are your favorites, so here are mine!
Tim Holtz Distress Ink Stains, great for just splashing on the page! Adding a bit of color, on the Cocoa Daisy pages, it dries so quick! No heat gun necessary!!, these aren’t great for blending though, mot color combos, when added on top of one another, tend to go muddy brown so keep that in mind when using them. They work great by themselves or in lines of colors.
Tim Holtz Distress Sprays, so much fun to create a different texture behind other things, or just on its own! Spray directly on the sheet, or only a palette and use a brush to apply if you want to paint with the color of spray you have.
Jane Davenport Mermaid Markers (I didn’t talk about these in the video below, but since they are on my Dandelion page after I ended the video and decorated the page, I thought I would add them) They are vibrant colors, best used on another piece of paper, like the Cocoa Daisy Scrapbook paper and then added to your Planner pages as seen in the photo above, just to help avoid bleed through of these heavily pigmented inks, or color a bit on a palette and water them down a bit before using directly in your planning pages!
Versafine Ink Pad for general stamping, I have not had any issues with bleed-through, and given a flat surface behind your stamping provides a crisp and clear image! Other inks that work great in planners are Chalk based inks, they don’t bleed through when you’re stamping if you want to add other colors of in into your planning.
Here is a small “tutorial” video on using the stains, sprays, and ink pads in your planning pages!
