Accentuating the Textured Cardstock

Step 1 Stamp your chosen My Acrylix® image on textured cardstock. For best results, use the foam pad provided with your stamps to cushion the image and ensure even coverage.
Step 2 Add a small amount of Exclusive Inks™ re-inker to a craft jar. Dip a stipple tool into the jar and wipe excess ink off the tool onto a tissue or scrap piece of paper.
Step 3 Wipe the tool back and forth and up and down across the stamped image until the image is completely covered. Cut the image out of cardstock if desired.

Water Mist

Step 1 For a watercolor effect, spray a very fine mist of water 12 inches away over your My Acrylix® stamp.
Step 2 Stamp the image on cardstock. Try more or less water for various degrees of watercoloring.
Step 3 Stamp the image with ink only to outline or add depth to the watercolor image.

Using a Blending Pen with Watercolor Pencils

Step 1 Stamp any My Acrylix® image on paper of your choice.
Step 2 Using one or more watercolor pencils, color the areas in which you wish to have the watercolor effect.

Step 3 Using the blending pen, smooth over the areas on which you used the watercolor pencils. To achieve a darker effect, place the blending pen directly on the pencil tip then apply the pencil. Go slightly outside the lines of the stamped image to give your work a great watercolor look.

Using Stipple Tool with Re-inker

Step 1 Add a few drops of each Exclusive Inks™ re-inker to separate containers.

Step 2 Dab stipple tool in color. Wipe off excess on tissue before applying.

Step 3 For a dramatic effect, drag a saturated tool across the paper in long strokes. Use less ink and shorter strokes for a lighter, wispier application.
