stamping with printer Ink + freebie

I've talked about this before  - using printer ink on stamp pads.  I have a card today to share with you along with a new verse.


I purchased a new blank stamp pad, the one I had been using was just to big. I prefer to tap the pad on the stamp , especially since I am using a Misti - Yes I broke down and bought one!  I am making kits and cards by the ton and my homemade hack version was not big enough for my 6x6 back grounds stamps.  Do I love the Misti - Yes!!  Worth every penny!

I had this verse on my mind in the morning so I sat down and Digitized it:

I love waiting on God, He is always so faithful and makes everything happen so perfectly when we do have faith and wait!

This is a firm foam pad and runs around $6.00

I inked it up - you have to let the ink soak in for about 10 minutes, otherwise your stamp will have an uneven layering of ink on it.

This ink is perfect for Alcohol marker coloring and so inexpensive!!!

It is a very deep rich black!

First few images were terrible, I realized the rubber was old on this stamp and I would need to sand it down a bit/

I tried a different stamp, let the ink rest :

I got a good image.

Used 4 Spectrum Noir Markers to color with

Here is the finished card:

Please feel free to use my digitized verse!

Thank you for stopping by!
