Magnolia Tilda Stamps & Creations....

Need some advice. What do you ladies use in the way of paper and ink for stamping and then colouring. My reason for asking is that I have been using plain white card, a few different sorts including SU card, together with a black stazon ink pad. I have been leaving the images for about 5-10 minutes to dry, but when I colouring the images in (particularly the face) the ink smudges.....What do you use, or what am I doing wrong.

Sorry should have been more specific. I am using Prismacolor pencils with Sansador. I have not previously had a problem with watercolour pencils.

I was wondering what sansador is too, anyone help??

[CraftyCaz]

Ok, here is what the bottle says...Sansador is an Oil Colour - Low Odour Solvent. Many people use it with Prismacolor pencils, but I am sure I have seen someone else post that she uses it with other types of pencils. It is used to blend the pencils with a paper stump.

I am by no means an expert so please forgive me if I have got anything wrong.

I use plain card and Staz on I haven't had any problems yet. Try drying them with a drier maybe your pad is very wet and its taking longer to dry. Mine are at least 2yrs old if not more got them when it first came out. When they are new they are very liquid.

Great minds and all that, one I just finished, really enjoying this horse stamp. Had to go and help out at the workshop so it was a quick card. Please excuse the wings they are still drying

Would your local art shop sell Sansodor and paper stumps??

[angeljakki]

Yes jo if they sell pastels most would. Mine sells double ended ones and they are great.

Oh wow Jakki your cards are coloured to perfection.
Did you get your o level in ART?

[angeljakki]

lol Dawn. I wish. Sadly I am a crafter not an artist. I can adapt other peoples work but can't draw for toffee. You should check out doubledutch blog her stuff is really cool. She is on here.
