Cool technique with the Wink of Stella pen!


There are times I like to color and others that I don't. I came up with this cool technique using the Wink of Stella pen and White Craft ink to highlight my main image. 

I pressed a clear block directly onto my White Craft ink pad and used that to pick up the ink with my Wink of Stella pen. You sure don't have to use a clear block but I didn't want to get Wink of Stella in my ink pad. You could use a paper plate or any other non porous surface.   

I used Purple Posy, Pool Party and Seaside Spray on the cards below. 

Technique tips:

  • Light colored card stock works best here; the White ink can obscure the stamped image on dark card stock.
  • Squeeze out a bit of the Wink of Stella liquid to make a small puddle to mix with the White ink for easier painting. 
  • Paint the image once and go back and highlight parts of it if you want more 'lightness'. 
  • Black Memento ink works fine to stamp your image
  • This should work nicely on a heat embossed image! 
  • You can use the White Craft ink refill instead of an ink pad but a little drop goes a long way! 

I also used Versamark to create a background effect on the card base, stamping the main image multiple times. I love how soft a Versamark background is and I don't use it near enough.  This repetitive stamping could be very busy if done in black or a darker color.  

Here's the video with 3 different coloring techniques!
