Your choice of papers is awesome. Espacially the Da Vinci drawings and calligraphy pages. I winced a bit when you mentioned to restart the Distress Ink with a bit of water. I'm not sure if you will perhaps ruin your ink pad, because both Distress Ink and Distress Oxide are designed to be water reactive. @w0rdsandp1ctures , @luiseheinzl and of course Tim Holtz himself might have some tips on this. I didn't want to go down the rabbit hole, so I just invested in the reinkers. 😅
I appreciate you sharing your "winced a bit". I admit that I haven't seen any video explaining the proper care and use of Distress pads and will now look for such. The Mementos pads are water-based and when the pads get old I just use them up with a bit of water. I didn't realize that Distress Inks were different. I will find an online source for the reinkers. I still have to get a new Antique Linen pad because that one is starting to fall apart. The Oxide pads are so new to me I want to understand those more so I know what I can do with them. I will invest some time in learning these inks. Thank you Tina!
Thx for sharing
Thanks for watching!
