What Kind Of Ink Should I Use?

Frequently Asked Question!

 ink

ink pad
Classic Dye Based Ink: This is the ink I use most often because it is quick drying and suits most stamping. This water based ink works great on card stock and papers. I also often use it with an aquapainter for water coloring.

 


craft ink padCraft Ink "Pigment": Craft ink is wetter and contains pigment which makes it more opaque. This ink is great for scrapbooks and can be used on wood, fabric and other craft projects. It is good for scrapbooking because it is slow drying. Heat set with a heat tool to speed up the drying time.

 


versamarkVersamark " Watermark Ink: This ink is great for making tone-on-tone designs, resist stamping and heat embossing and great for the Poppin' Pastels technique. To see the Poppin' Pastels technique book a workshop and I’ll teach you.

 


stazonStazon: Permanent solvent ink. This ink is very permanent and I use it on nonporous surfaces like glass, cellophane bags, glossy paper and window sheet. This ink is great for images to be water colored because it does not run.

 


Encore

 

Encore: Metallic Pigment ink.  These inks add a little glitz and shimmer to your projects. These inks do not dry well on glossy, coated and other nonporous surfaces.
