Creative Chemistry Day 3
Re: Creative Chemistry Day 3
I'm not sure if it was Day 3 or not but Tim recommended "priming" your stamp with Ranger's Jet Black Archival Ink. He said the ink would protect the clear stamps from damage (was it solvent ink that can damage them?) and prevent the blotching that sometimes happens.
I ordered the ink pad from Joann's and plan to spend a few hours priming my most often used stamps. I have so many black ink pads, I've put off buying a good black ink pad. This was the gentle nudge I needed.
When I pulled out my black StazOn tonight, I re-inked it. It felt good to understand the best way to re-ink.

Realized I haven't posted Day 3 tags, even though I did them last week. I'll get 'em posted later....

Wow, those look great!
For those of you who have all the Distress pads, which colors are the brightest?
I don't think their color charts are very accurate. My inkpads all seem to be muted.

Had a problem with the black Archival ink on the embossing folder transferring, so I added the stamped birds afterwards. I didn't have coloured Archival ink, so inked my stamps with VersaMark and then Distress Ink for the first layer - nice, distressed outcome.

Everyone has great tags
Re: Creative Chemistry Day 3
Marianne, how bright are you talking? I find that the more intense colors for me are ones like Dusty Concord, Seedless Preserves, Faded Jeans & Chipped Sapphire, Ripe Persimmon, Mustard Seed, Peeled Paint, Fired Brick & Festive Berries. Mine are fairly close to the lid colors (at least to my eyes). If you want brighter colors you almost have to go with the Archival pads, or the brighter Adirondack pads or alcohol inks.

Re: Creative Chemistry Day 3
Thanks, Monica! I have a few of those and have ordered a few more. I never think they look like the lid colors!
Re: Creative Chemistry Day 3
I didn't have bright colors for Archival either - so I used my Club Scrap hybrid inks and they seemed to work well!

Nice, Nancy!! Tim did say to use what you have, but I ahvnet gotten around to experimenting with anything other than Rnger products yet. I'll have to try some of these with the CS hybrids.

Re: Creative Chemistry Day 3
Oh, that looks awesome! Good to know about the hybrid inks, since I have tons of those and no alcohol inks...!!
Re: Creative Chemistry Day 3
Wow, Nancy, those turned out great.
