Hello there! Let me just start off by saying I LOVE these Altenew Inks…
Now that we have that out of the way, today I am going to show all of the unique ways to use them and a little bit more about them. At the end we will make a card featuring the inks and a little penguin named Billy. (So stay till the end or Billy will be sad)
These inks will for sure be a regular on my channel because of how unique they are and how many techniques they can do! They have four of each color tone which help with color layering and overall card making and matching colors. They also have an oval base which helps give cool effects on cards. Not to mention they are great at stamping even coverage and are amazing for watercolor.
To start off stamp all of your images down and get ready to watercolor! Put all of your ink pads onto a slick surface and go crazy with coloring. It is super simple and trust me these go on to your paper amazing!
To create a background use the round ink pad and smoosh it onto the paper for a super simple background. This is great if you aren’t great at water coloring backgrounds (like me)! Stamp down a simple sentiment and add everything onto your card base.
Billy is proud that you read this far! 🙂
Enjoy the video!

Cute card, great coloring and nice design. Great idea to use ink pad for background.
Cute card!!
super kewl like it thank you for your nice video
CUTE card Simon 🙂
Thank You for sharing your tutorial … I didn’t know that you could colour with these inks with a waterbrush and it was really clever using the shape of the pad to create your background. I have just purchased a couple of the mini ink pad sets, hoping to get some larger ones down the track. In the meantime, I look forward to trying my hand at multilayer stamping.
A super cute card Simon. Love the idea of using the ink pad itself for the background. A fantastic idea!
Great background, I will try it.
Simon,
As usual, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the video and that card is just too cute! I have not tried those inks yet, but after seeing this video, I may just have to try and save the money from my limited budget to get some. Keep these videos coming because this old granny loves to watch you create. God bless……..
I love that little penguin!
