    my favorite ink for stamping is PTI dark chocolate, you can even color with copics/prismacolor art markers with no bleed…my favorite ink for distressing is antique linen distress, i can’t NOT distress

  2. Joy Taylor says:

    Love your cards Jen, Kathy’s cards are always so inspiring and she is one talented lady, great take on her white gel pen technique. Super beautiful!

    At present my favourite ink is, Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, as I can then colour with my Copics.

  3. Ellie says:

    my fav. ink is from PTI I use it on EVERYTHING its their Tye Duo-Chamomile & Chai I have tried not to use them but I can’t help it. They give the perfect touch to any card I might be working on.. I am a Distress addict and I am proud to admit it ha.

  4. veronica says:

    I like to use PTI inks!

  5. Sue D says:

    I checked out Kathy’s blog and it is inspiring. I will have to think on every card I make whether white dots would improve it.
    For basic ink I like Memento black because it doesn’t smear with Copics. For colors I like my distress inks–especially broken china.

  6. Sue in Grapevine says:

    I love Versafine black for general use.

  7. I pretty much only use memento tuxedo. I do love Distress Inks for my edges.

  8. Heidi says:

    Great video! I like how you explain the products and why you like them. It’s nice to hear how they compare to similar, but different products and how the daubers are more for “pouncing” and blending tool for “blending”. The Hero Chalk inks are great!

    Thanks so much Jennifer! We love your ideas and inspiration!

    🙂 Heidi

  9. Lin says:

    Oh, these turned out really pretty, and it looks like something I could do…..love the result! My favorite boring ink 🙂 is Versafine onyx black, but for fun, I LOOOOOVE any of the distress inks. I finally found some of the new colors last week!

  10. Shirley says:

    I NEED that white pen,, I use stampin up black ink the most. I just tryed the new inkdinkdo little chalk pads, they are really nice and they are stackable and come in many different colors, I don’t have room for all the big pads so these little ones are good.

  14. Pretty cards! Thanks for a chance to win! The daubers look like a lot of fun!

  15. Cindy Royal says:

    I definitely need to try highlighting with white pen! My favorite ink, other than copics, is probably the couple of SU! I have. I do like MS chalk inks for inking edges of paper though.

    I love Tsukineko’s Pinecone pigment ink! I use it for inking edges all the time!

  31. Angela says:

    I love using Versafine ink, as it gives such a crisp image with my acrylic stamps. I’m still debating about the Memento ink, which doesn’t seem to provide as crisp an image. But maybe I need to work with a bit more to get used to it.

  32. Ragnhild says:

    I love distress ink because it comes in so many great colours, and it does fun things whit water:)

  33. StampinCathy says:

    The cards are just beautiful. Great video. You make it look so easy. I guess I would have to say Stampin Up. Thanks for a chance.

  34. Cathy Green says:

    I think I use Stampin UP more than anything else because that’s what I have the most of. I do like the Distress Inks and Versamark is a staple on my stamping area, too.
