    Love the versafine! Love the distress inks so many techniques in using these inks! Took your suggestion and last year checking other inks so far lawn fawn is awesome! Thanks for sharing your time and information with us all?

  7. ejnov says:

    Hum…I have to say, my favorite in is the line of chalk inks from ColorBox. I ink a lot of edges and like that they dry so fast.

  8. Carolyn Hargrave says:

    I think my favorite ink is the Versamark ink pad. It allows me to do so many techniques and I love the results. I also use my distress ink pads often but don’t have too many other colors of ink. I am just in the process of building up my supply. I’m sure that Versamark is one ink pad that I wouldn’t want to live without!

  9. Natalie Winterstein says:

    I have a lot fo different inks but the ones I tend to use the most are my PTI. For black I always use the SSS Intense blank ink because you can watercolor and use it with Copics! 🙂

  10. Heather Lynn says:

    I just love using and playing with Distress Inks. I also highly recommend your swatch book idea to categorize inks. Much easier to coordinate my ink colours. I love VersaFine’s onyx black for sentiments and VersaMark for embossing. Thanks for the videos.

  11. Gauri V says:

    Hi Jennifer!! Thanks for another giveaway. All wonderful inks. The more inks, the better and we always need more. Since the Altenew inks come in sets of four, would definitely want to try those. Thanks!!

  12. Victoria A says:

    my Fav is VersaMark – there are so many things you could do with them!

  13. gretchen n says:

    Currently my favorite inks are distress ink, versamark ink (Gotta love that embossing) and Simon says ink. (Which I tried after your video on monochromatic cards, although you used hero arts shadow ink)

  14. Karen Bean says:

    That’s a hard one being you need different inks for different techniques. I love the Tim Holtz distress ink pads, the Ranger Archival Jet Black and Memento Tuxedo Black.

  15. carol says:

    My Versafine black ink = essential! Next up: distress inks and Altenew. Would like to try MFT and WPlus9 inks…
    Your video is marvelous…

  16. sSherylH says:

    Favorite inks would have to be the Distress Inks because of the techniques and the colours available. For stamping, I usually use the Versafine Onyx black or Versamark.

    I have started using the Distress Inks since watching your videos, because of the wonderful colors and how they react with water, but my favorite ink is the Versafine onyx black- I always go to that one, and I always have success with it. Thank you for all the information!

  22. Niro Jude says:

    I love distress inks too.

  23. Wenche Anita Johnsen says:

    I don’t really have a favorite ink. I live in Norway and inktypes have been hard to find, so you just by what you can find in the colors you want. But thankfully distressed inks have recently come on the market in stores so I think I have to giv them a try

  24. Jacki says:

    Right now I am building my ink collection so I don’t have too many but I do love Versamark 🙂

    Most of my inks are Colorbox pigment and chalk inks, and the small cheaper ones found at Michael’s. just recently branched out and bought the Altenew crips inks cubes. After seeing your video I would like to branch out further and try a few others. I guess I’m still looking for my favorite.

  36. Cherie says:

    I’m still trying to find the right inks for me. I’ve been buying the little ink cubes from various companies to try out and my quest continues.

    I still really love my Papertrey Ink inks for colours. For black ink I like the Ranger Archival or Versafine black onyx.

    My distress inks and my Versamark ink pad are used almost daily! I am excited to explore some of these other brands of dye inks.

    I love the crisp images I get from my black Versafine inkpad. I like the Lawn Fawn inks too, and Versamark is unique because it gives you the possibility to emboss.

  48. Amy Ames says:
