Now I must buy distress ink!

[@evenichols3517]

Fantastic video. Thank you so much for taking the time to show all the ways of coloring. Awesome!

[@claudiahemmings2080]

Excellent video! Distress inks are so great for soft blended backgrounds. Safer and cleaner to use than soft pastels, and no need for fixative either.

[@Kirstycolourandsketch]

Omg I loved this! It was me that requested the video! Thankyou so much x

[@ufocoloring7709]

Thank you for requesting this video! I had fun filming it.

[@lilsliceofTLC]

I love tutorial videos. I haven't got into distressed ink yet. I will watch this video again if I ever do. Thank you so much. :)

[@ufocoloring7709]

They are a lot of fun and it's easy to use them.

[@phadareapbrumbalow5918]

I’ve been looking for these exact kind of videos! You did such a great job on these demonstrations. You just got a new subscriber 😊.

[@annhatfield6044]

So I've had some Distress Inks for over a year and I just started using them. I need to blot them out like you did, I just went in full force and made a hot mess LOL But it just takes practice! Fun stuff!!

[@ufocoloring7709]

Thank you so much girl!

[@shawnaferguson5819]

Ann I've had the whole set of minis for over a tear and want to use them also. Spent a good amount of money on them so would be nice to use them. I made a color chart last night with them and I think it's going to be a learning curve. Some also seemed a little dry even though they were never opened or it could just be that they're lighter colors.

[@AdultColoringWithShara]

Great video! I have all these Distress Inks and now I know what to do with them, thank you. :*

[@pattyyates7554]

Oh and i NEED that brush.. so much better than toothbrush😁🤗💖

[@ufocoloring7709]

Patty Yates I love the brush!! 🙌🏼

[@aliciahernandez4088]

Love the fairy.

[@shawnaferguson5819]

What is the name of the brush? Also can you do more tutorials with the distress inks?

[@ufocoloring7709]

Of course I can! Thank you for the feedback. The name of the brush is Tim Holtz Distress Splatter Brush. You can find it on Amazon.

[@annettelockhart2949]

Tu for doing this video and I love your quarrel where do you get your stencils from?

[@ufocoloring7709]

Amazon!

[@loriscoloringhangout1425]

I only recently started using distressed inks for backgrounds in my coloring books. This additional knowledge is greatly appreciated I am guessing that the archival inks may not be a good idea for background since from my understanding they are alcohol based.

[@ufocoloring7709]

Lori Coloring Hangout I’m glad this video was helpful. Maybe the archival inks would work but I’m pretty sure they would bleed through the next page.

[@sandraolson8635]

@@ufocoloring7709 actually archival inks work the same for this particular process but will dry slightly faster and will not bleed thru. They will only bleed if you use alcohol markers or ink over them. Distress will bleed if you get it wet with water while Archival will bleed with solvents like alcohol. For example, you use Archival inks to stamp images that you want to watercolor while you use dye based inks such as distress to stamp images you want to use alcohol markers to color.

[@carrianne.m]

Hi i know this video is while ago , but in case you see this, i wondered if you prefer the brushes or sponge blending tools? I just got my first distress inks!!! And i already have brushes the exact same as yours. ... do i need the round sponge pads as well? Thanks so much!!

[@carrianne.m]

Also, thank you for the video! Super helpful! And i love the background you did on your second example!!!!

[@ufocoloring7709]

Hey! How are you liking them? Thanks for the sweet comment! I personally use my brushes way more than the sponges.

[@carmellelapointe7583]

Hi. Are brush applicators better than sponge for applying the distress ink? Thanks.

[@ufocoloring7709]

Hi! I like the brushes but it really depends… the sponges can make it more pigmented.

[@shawnaferguson5819]

Great tutorial! Thank you! What is the white piece you have behind your page that you're blotting off on to?

[@ufocoloring7709]

It’s a glass cutting board lol! Something made out of plastic will work the same way. It’s just what I had around. Thank you! I’m glad you liked it.

[@yazosoyo]

Do you think I can use the regular oval shaped makeup brushes? The look exactly the same

[@ufocoloring7709]

Yes definitely! Go for it and have fun 😊

[@Starlytte]

Why use Distress Inks in particular? Wouldn't any kind of stamp pad work? Very curious as I only own 3 distress ink pads, but I have a metric butt ton of other stamp pads.

[@ufocoloring7709]

I’m pretty sure other water based stamp pads would work in a similar way. I’ve never tried it before.

[@sydandart]

What's the name of the make up brushes? Thanks 🖤

[@menm_91]

Well. Who knew you can't use those rounded wooden pad things flat. I did, acted like I was spreading butter on toast. No wonder my stuff looked like crap 🤦🏼‍♀️
