Beautiful card! I am just getting into stamping and really need a good source to learn about different types of inks and what each type is used for. If you have any advice, please share. TIA Enis

[@meerkatmakesbyl-cardsbylaura]

Thank you so much for watching Enis ☺️ inks - you need a dye ink for alcohol markers I.e. Memento
For watercolouring and crisp stamping then a pigment ink such as versafine is fab. There's a great guide here at Scrapbook.com which might help too ☺️

@Meerkat Makes by L - Cards By Laura Thank you so much! I'll will definitely check out this info. I some inks that were given to me, but they don't stamp crisply. I need to learn more and step up my game. ❤️

[@meerkatmakesbyl-cardsbylaura]

They might not stamp properly of they're old and need reinking or it could just be the type of ink they are. For crisp stamping I would always recommend versafine you can't go wrong with that ink for crisp bold stamping. You also can clear heat emboss that and then colour any images with your preferred medium.
