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.
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 horse.jpg
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.
I love those spring up cards on this thread - can someone tell me how to make them please! Jakki that card is so gorgeous - can't wait for mothers day when I am allowed my horse stamp pressie!!!
Have to console myself with my real life horse instead for now!! Off to the farm I pop!
Jakki - should little Tilda have a bird on her hand??? Trying to figure out which stamp it is.
Anyone wanna swap some Tilda stamped images like Jakkie's for horsey ones (after mothers day!) so we can make that gorgeous design - if Jakkie doesn't mind us nabbing her brill idea!!!!

I'll swap for some horsey ones too, and I'd love the 'pile of books' image too if anyone has that
