Fun Ink Blending With Stencils

Posted on by

By Amalia Montano

I’ve had these stencils for some time, and the vibrant colors and rich textures of Tsukineko inks were perfect for these designs. I love Tsukineko inks for their versatility, stunning colors, and ease of use. They also come in various themed color sets. For this project, I used both VersaFine colors and Dew Drop VersaMagic ink pads.
