Make a Birthday Card with Walnut Ink and VersaFine

It is so easy to create a quick and beautiful background with Walnut Ink! I used Walnut Ink sprays to create a blended background in this super quick birthday card. I love the muted tones of the Walnut Ink, but these steps can be done with Fireworks as well for a shimmery and bright look. I used a few silhouette stamps of flowers and stems with VersaFine Ink and finished the card with a sentiment stamped on a kraft card strip. This is a super quick card using very little supplies and can be mass-produced with ease.

Use Fantastix to Create Your Own StazOn Marker

Creating your own, custom, StazOn Markers is as simple as the three Ss: Smoosh, Spritz, and Soak! Smoosh the ink on the craft mat, Spritz the StazOn cleaner, and Soak with the Fantastix. By using StazOn All-Purpose Stamp Cleaner to make the StazOn ink more fluid, you can vary the strength of the colors in your markers to create a greater range of colors. This way the StazOn colors you love on the pad can be used to color in your favorite images. See how I demo this in today’s YouTube tutorial.
