    I HAVE to get me some Hero Arts inks, they’re sooo yummy! I hope you can help me, I live pretty close to Hero Arts home offices, so I called to see if they would do a tour for homeschooling kids, and never heard from them =( Do they usually do this? Thanks for any help you can offer!

    I have 2 favorite inks. I love all the Stampin Up ones and my little cats eye chalk ink in chestnut roan. Those daubers look wonderful- love the idea of the caps. Never knew how to store the regular ones without bumping into each other. I have to get one of those signo pens too. I love the skinny one. I wonder if the broad one will dry out as quickly as the skinny. I always have problems getting mine to work.

  37. Donna says:

    Gotta go with the distress inks….just added frayed burlap, but, broken china is always at hand! 🙂

    My go-to black ink is Memories India Ink … for colors, I’m a ColorBox Chalk Ink gal.

  47. Mendi Yoshikawa says:

    Always love your videos! These white pens are definitely one of my favorites. I have never used the dabbers or Hero Arts Chalk ink, but I’ve been eyeing the chalk ink for awhile now. Currently my favorite ink for distressing and scrapbooking is Colorbox Chalk inks. I use them so much that I finally broke down and bought the re-inkers in almost every color. 🙂

  48. Sandi Kuhlman says:

    Really pretty cards! I probably use distress inks more than anything else.

  49. Bhea says:

    I’m partial to any kind of brown ink to add a little edge to anything!

  50. Eleanor says:

    I love the way you colored the flowers with sponge daubers. I use sponge daubers but only along the edges — never thought about coloring with them plus I know I couldn’t get the results you do. Gorgeous cards! My favorite coloring inks are Ranger distress inks. I use Momento Black and Rich Cocoa for stamping images if I am coloring with copic markers and I use Versafine Black if coloring with pencils and Gamsol.
