So what do you do when you don't have the colour ink pad you need? You grab the Stampin' Write marker instead. I'm not a big fan of the bold brights but for this layout I really needed Real Red to co-ordinate with this photo of Jade, my niece.
All of the stamped images (from sale-a-bration set Polka dot punches) were inked using the Real Red Stampin' Write marker. After inking the stamp with the marker, quickly huff or breath over it to re-moisten the ink and the turn over and stamp onto your cardstock.
The other thing I like about this layout is the On Board Alphabet - the chipboard J - I like how it has a slight suede look from a distance. To colour the J, I scribbled some marker on to the Stamp-a-ma-jig plastic template sheet (any plastic would work, you could use the box the stamps come in or even an old CD) and then with the sponge dauber picked up the ink and dabbed in a circular motion onto the chipboard and repeated until it was all covered.
Have you tried inking stamps with markers? What other techniques would you like me to show here or at a workshop?
