I’m soooooo excited …

!! I LOVE these inks, and use them in so many ways! I’ve put together a step-by-step guide showing the Distress Ink colors I have used to color a
StampabilitiesHouse Mouse
image,Jelly Bean Heist, also available at
7 Kids College Fund.
In this tutorial, I will be showing you TWO ways that I use Distress Inks: coloring the imagesand also highlighting around the images.1. Supplies used: Various
Distress
Ink pads
 
, water brush (small), water color paper,  Neenah Solar White card stock ,  black pigment ink pad, Copic marker for outlining image, sponge for  highlighting.2. Using the pigment ink, I always stamp at least two images just in case something unexpectedhappens while I’m coloring so I don’t have to fool around with re-stamping!I have stamped two images with black pigment ink on each type of paper (watercolor and Neenah card stock) the watercolor paper is for the actual coloring of the image and the smoother card stock is for the highlighting.
 
3. The first step in coloring the images on the watercolor paper, I try to start with the lightestcolor for my image, in this case the faces, hands, feet and tails. I’ve used
Tea Dye Distress Ink.
One thing I do is start out with a very wet brush. I find it’s easier to start lighter and add morecolor later. I put a few drops of water into the cover of my ink pad and try the color on a scratch piece of paper before I color the image … if it’s too dark I feel I have more control to pick upsome of the water from the cover.
 
4. I can then go back with the same color on my brush, with less water, for more concentratedcolor to add shading. I’ve also added some rosy highlights to their cheeks, noses and ears with
Tattered Rose Distress Ink. (Please note: Since I plan to cut out the image, to show youthe highlighting technique, I am not being too careful to color within the lines. I'm such arebel!)
