Versamark Watermark Ink from Stampin' Up! Purchase Online from Mary Fish, Stampin' Pretty 2023

STAMPIN’ EMBOSS POWDERS PLAYMATE! VersaMark ink appears a few shades darker than the cardstock it’s stamped on. That makes it great for creating tone-on-tone or watermark effects.

Stampin' Blends by Stampin' Up! Alcohol Based Markers Order online from Mary Fish, Stampin' Pretty 2023

DEFINITION & DEPTH! Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers help you create highlights and shadows for a 3D coloring effect. Stampin’ Blends Combo Packs include two high-quality alcohol markers—a dark shade and a light shade—for an amazing color blending experience. Use these markers with the Stampin’ Blends Color Lifter for additional blending possibilities.

MY TIP(s): Basic White 8 1/2 x 11 Cardstock (not thick) works best for blending!  Don’t be afraid to combine multiple colors to add even more depth to your creation.  Example: Add a touch of Flirty Flamingo Light to create shadows on an image colored with Petal Pink.

MY TIP:  Have a solid stamp image that you want to stamp in multiple colors?  Use the brush-tip to add multiple colors directly on the stamp!  Huff your breath on the stamp prior to meeting the card stock to reactivate the ink.
