    Oh those cards are too cute, love the colors and the white dots make it pop!!
    I wasn’t lucky with past white gel pens, always had to go over the word again and again… might try this pen though; my favorite ink right now, is the tattered rose distress ink from ranger 🙂

  18. Roz Rhorer says:

    I really like Distress Inks. I’m working on getting all the colors – like I really need them all right? Well of course I do. hehe.
    I like the white pen highlights. I just might have to try it.

  19. Kim R says:

    I love my distress inks for the color and Versafine for delicate images.

  20. Kim R says:

    Sorry if this posts twice, got an error the first time.

    I love my distress inks and my Versafine (for detailed images).

  21. Thanks for the chance! Right now I have been playing a lot with distress ink, any brown shade will do.

  22. Kelli says:

    Thanks for the inspiring video! Not sure what my faves are–in the process of trying out some new ones. I do like Colorbox chalk inks and Tim Holtz distress inks.

  23. Sheri K says:

    Great cards, great video, makes me think about some new things to try. My fav ink for outline stamping is versafine–love the detail images. For coloring and blending I LOVE Tim’s distress inks–slowly getting some of the new colors, haven’t found ’em many places yet. I’m also just starting to play with copics–they are tons of fun too!

  24. SusanHnSC says:

    I still like my distress inks but I’ve always liked using chalk inks, too! I’ve got to try these Hero Arts inks – they look really nice.

  25. Jane says:

    LOVE that pen…I love Colorbox Chalk inks, Memento inks…I really want to try out Hero Arts chalk inks.
    Love your cards….that white pen adds so much interest!

  26. DeannaC says:

    Great video–thanks! I would have to say distress inks for sure. If I had to pick one color it would be the Broken China but can’t really imagine only have one color, ha!

  27. Sandy says:

    I really haven’t tried many inks other than SU so i’d have to say SU is my fav. Thanks for the chance to win! Love your work!

  28. Natalie says:

    such pretty cards! I love the Uniball Signo white pen, too… I only recently got one and am thrilled with it 🙂
    I just use the storebrand pigment ink from one of the chain stores in my area. It seems to work okay, and since I don’t have Copics (maybe someday?) that is enough for me!

  29. Becky Johnson says:

    Thanks for the coloring tips. My favorite inks are SU and I just love Distress inks. Peace. Becky J.

    I’d love to try those HA chalk inks, unfortunately I only know of 1 place in the UK that sells them and they are always out of stock! Love using black archival ink and distress inks.

  38. chantille says:

    Hi Jennifer, there used to be a couple of on-line stores listed that sold HA products under your FAQ’s on your blog and unfortunately I can’t see that section any more. I used one them several times and they shipped quickly to the UK but I can’t remember their name 🙁
