I can’t wait to try adding ink to craft foam to make an ombré ink pad. That technique looks amazing! Thank you for all of these great ideas.

Oh what FUN!! I love the ombré butterfly and the gel plated techniques best, but all are terrific. Never thought to use fun foam as my base. TY!! 🧑🏼‍🎨😀

I can imagine black texture paste stencilled over a dark coloured cardstock for a Victorian wallpaper look.

I use the re-inkers to colour lace or strips of cotton for my JJ.

Wow Lou, what an awesome way to use reinkers. I have never bought them thinking I wouldn't have much use for them, but I have changed my mind! Thanks so much.

I love the way you painted the flower, mine always look like blobs. You are so awesome. Thank you for your tutorials. 🙂🙂

Try distress oxide rinkers onto the shiny side of photo paper. I put drops onto acetate, spritz with water and press the photo paper down. You can lift the color a few times and/or add a different colour. Allow to air dry and then, using a baby wipe rub off the oxidization. Fantastic finish. You end up with the base colour used to make the shade Tim Holtz wanted.

@lucyc Ай бұрын

Agreed! That's a super fun technique. It's so cool to watch the vibrant colours appear as you wipe it off!

@LouCollins Ай бұрын

I’ll have to give that a go!!

@pauladyer9845 Ай бұрын

Wow..amazing thanks so much..I will try them all…only have 2 reinkers at the moment…but want to try the foam pad first..I have been using my geli plate today with vegetation..fun…using the leaves as stamps on the pulled papers…fun fun fun

Loved seeing your technique for painting the flower when you were watercoloring. I've not seen the "dot" method before.

Ages ago I bought some grey texture paste that I've never used. Inking it is a game changer. Thank you, Lou. Great alternatives for using our inks. X❤

Inking foam specifically for a stamp makes sense if you're mass producing that image, but it would be a waste of reinker for one-offs (particularly compared with how little ink you used to re-ink the pad). For a single image, using a blending brush to apply the ink to the stamp would be more economical. I imagine if you store the inked foam in an air-tight container it might be useful for a few weeks (you were vague on how long that would be useful).
