VersaMagic is magic!

Confused as to which ink to use on your next project?  Are you new to stamping and need advice on ink?  Let me introduce you to VersaMagic.  This ink, manufactured by Tsukineko, is a great choice. It's a chalk pigment ink that dries to a smooth, soft look on any color cardstock, even black.  Here are the benefits:

  • Ink dries to a matte finish, looking just like chalk pastels, and will add extra depth to your artwork.
  • Pigment ink dries slowly enough to emboss, if you don't prefer the pastel chalk finish.
  • Perfect for use on glossy cardstock and vellum, as well as smooth and textured cardstock. 
  • Great for stenciling and stippling, the ink pad is wet enough to use with a brush or sponge.
  • It's available in full-sized ink pads or in sets of four Dew Drops (as shown), both with raised ink surfaces, so you can ink any size stamp.  The smaller sizes are great if you're on a budget or if you have limited storage space, plus the colors are coordinated for you for variety.
  • Re-inkers are also available, so you can refill your ink pad over and over.
Have you tried this ink?  What was your experience?  Do you have another favorite ink to share?  I'd love to hear your comments.
