Part II and III Coloring With Distress Inks

 Hello again! Well, I am unable to upload all of my video for working with Distress Inks at the same time, so here are the final parts, Part II - Coloring Clothing and III Coloring Hair. You can find Part I HERE.

BTW, Angela asked where I buy my Strathmore paper and I buy it from Texas Art Supply.  They do have an online store to order from.  Also, Elaine asked if I use the ink pads or refills.  I use refills.  If I have a color in the pads just squish the lid while closed onto the pad and then you have instant watercolor ready inside the lid.
I use Stazon ink always to stamp my image and the paper pad is a cold press pad and has a VERY slight cream color to it.   You can only tell this by putting it next to stark white.

Part II - Clothing



Part III - Hair 


Thanks again for watching!

Hugs, Dena

    Well I was supposed to be doing a little commentary on my fave blogs before bedtime but I have been completely distracted by your three video tutorials! And they were compelling to watch! I am tempted to go ink up an LOTV image right now and get my own distress inks out(except that it's getting on for 1.00am). I will definitely come back and watch them again and I will have a go some time soon. It was great to hear your dulcet Texan tones, too, Dena! It's almost like you are sitting here with me! Thank you for sharing these! Big Hugs! Lesley

    Oh, Dena, thanks for taking the time to do these tutorials. I've been wondering how you do your MAGIC. I just want to drop everything now and start practicing what you showed us...LOL.
    Questions for you. Is the watercolour paper hot press or cold press? And what stamp ink pad do you use to stamp your images? Do you also use the Memento stamp pad that is used with alcohol-ink markers or something else?

    Hugs,
    Norma

    Hi Dena, I loved these tutorial video´s! This is totally different from the way I work with the D.I. The paper I work on dries real quickly, so I wouldn´t have time to blend. I work with a filled waterbrush and blend straight away as I´m working. So is that like watercolour paper that you work on?? I do have some lying about, I will have to try it. I'll keep you posted ok! Thanks again! Hugs, Frea

    WOW, thank you so much for the WONDERFUL tutorials!!!! I have LOVED watching them. I have been wanting to try coloring with distress inks for a while now, and have been so nervous and scared to try it. Now, I am totally inspired and wanting to try it. Thanks so much. I am going to email you a couple of questions, but I just LOVE your work, and think you are completely talented and inspirational!!!

    Dena - thanks so much for sharing your "how to" distress coloring! I'm sure it's a big deal to get it all done but I appreciate it and thoroughly enjoyed watching them. Makes me want to do it again!!! I made palettes of the ink and everything and then went back to copics... ugh! I need to be "stretched" more often! lol thanks again for sharing!
