Thanks Therese for sharing your idea's on inks, they can be the most confusing thing about our craft I think.

This is helpful and I appreciate your time in sharing this info for me again before I found this video. Crafty hugs 🤗🇨🇦🥰

You are so welcome!

Fantastic video, especially for beginner stampers. I certainly found it confusing when I first started stamping and got so frustrated when my images were blotchy etc. This would have been so handy!!

Hi Therese, Ink is one of the most important items that makes me struggle, which inks to buy and for what. Thank you for a bit heads up n hopefully i'll get it and somewhere..... eventually. Luv from the UK

I hear you Lynne, I just started small and eventually found out which ones suited my style and what I was creating. And you don't need them all, definitely focus getting colours that you know you will use, I used to buy all the browns and earthy tones until I realised that I was actually only using brights lol. Each brand of ink will stamp differently and it's worth playing with them when you get them to see how they work best. The mini cubes are a great option for trying them out too! Hope you have fun!

Ths for your clarification. Before, I thought that shadow ink is for background colour.

Whice website did you find the copic sheet from? I went on their website and printed out a sheet but it wasn't current. I had a few colors that weren't on the sheet.

[@lostinpaper]

Hi Charyl, I'm sure that I downloaded it from the Copic website but it would have been a few years ago now. You could probably email them and ask if they are planning on updating their spreadsheet, another option is to create your own in a Word document... if you have the time and energy (but realistically who does lol). I don't have heaps of Copics and tend to just 'make do' with the colours I own, so it hasn't actually been a problem for me, sounds like you have some of the newer colours. I'd annoy them, I'm sure you are not the only one who's noticed. Have a great day, thanks so much for your comment. Therese

[@charylhodges470]

lostinpaper Actually, I don't have a lot of copic markers either. I've tried to buy locally at Hobby Lobby and get the set with three markers. I wanted to make sure the colors were selected to blend well. I also use a 40% coupon when I purchase them, copics are pricey. We may have the same print out. I'll check their website and see if they have a newer sheet to download. Thanks (I'm enjoying your video's)

What is shadow ink ? and How it different from dye or pigment inks

[@lostinpaper]

Alice Lee Hi Alice, 'Shadow Ink' is the name of the ink, it is simply another 'dye' ink. Hope this is helpful. Have a great day, Therese
