    I’ve put those sponge daubbers on my list! The white broad Signo pen is on my list too since I love my white fine Signo gel pen. My favorite basic ink is Versafine. I aso use Versamark, Colorbox chalk and pigment inks, Staz on and more. I want to try some Hero Arts and Tim Holtz Distress inks too.

    I love my white signo pen maybe one of my best purchases. I use it a lot to add highlights to my images and you check out my blog here to see a sample of how I use this pen. http://relivingtomorrow.blogspot.com/2010/06/little-miracles.html I just love how this is such an easy thing to do and takes no time.

    I love your cards that you made. I love this new video and this way of coloring flowers. SO it would be great to win these amazing dabbers. I really do need to get these chalk inks because they really do look like they blend well. Thanks again for your wonderful inspiration. Hugs.

    Oh my how to pick a favorite ink?! I love them all and it depends on what project I’m doing. At the moment I have been using quite a few of T!m Holtz’s Distress Inks. And of course the alcohol inks are WONDERFUL for so many projects! I really love the look of these cards – think I may see what stamps I have that might work and have my 6yr old granddaughter try her hand at them. I was looking for a project for our local county fair in two weeks and I think this card would be a good one. I bought one of those white pens at the last scrapbook convention I went to so she could even put the highlights on her card. Thanks for the great video. You make the projects look so easy/clean and doable (is that really a word?! LOL) Thanks, Marita S.

    For general stamping images to color I always use Memento Tuxedo Black. It is a dark black and never smears with my Copic markers.

    Hi Jennifer,
    I love your cards, and the detailing you have achieved with your white signo pens and your daubers. I love that they are available with caps on – I didn’t realize that! Thank you for sharing. For almost everything I do, my go-to inkpad is my black Versafine – I can’t do without it.

    I haven’t tried a whole lot of different brands of ink, but I do like the way Memories (black) ink creates the cleanest, most solid stamped image for me. But, I don’t like that it smears a little when you use Copics.
    I like Hero Hues, but wish they’d have more colors. I also like Distress Inks, Staz-On and Memento.

    It’s difficult for me to decide on a favourite ink as I use different ones for different purposes. Versafine Black is a great allrounder, PTI has wonderful colours and Tim Holtz Distress inks are so great to colour with. But because I love to use my copics I will go for Memento!
    Many thanks for your generosity!
    Love, Alex

    Great card! i love the white highlighting. i am going to have to try that. i would have to say that i have 2 favorite inks right now–distress inks (just love the colors and i love the look when you mist it with water and perfect pearls) and hero arts chalk ink. i just love how the colors match the papers. i think i would love the daubers to try with the inks. looks like a really fun technique.
