Stamping TOTW

Using mulit colored ink pads

Do you use the rainbow/Kaleidacolor/multicolored ink pads?

If so can you give some advice on how they are used?

I mainly use mine when I brayer a background. sometimes I'll ink a stamp and place it on a envelope that I am going to mail.

Do you use therainbow/Kaleidacolor/multicolored ink pads?
I mostly use my Petal Points from Color Box...love them. I am slowly adding reinkers for the ones I use the most like the teals,etc.

If so can you give some advice on how they are used?
I use them direct to paper...for just stamping a whole image and embossing it....for brushing around the edge of a decorative cut cardstock....

I use them for brayering and I like them for things like butterflys, flowers, something that can be different colors. I just stamp like on any other pad.

I love seashells, and use them a lot for my seashell stamps. I love using the roller wheels with the
multi=color pads. I use them for backgrounds and even for my focal point.

I like to use them for very detailed stamps, they look great on the skeleton leaves, and on any of the foliage stamp sets...

I like to use the Kaleidacolor pads, however I am really careless (but getting better) about remembering to put the stamp in the same place
all the time, mess them up once in a while...

I just decided to try Brayering, and used the red rubber insert, for my last project. I made some hostess postcards, using glossy paper, printed out the information for the party on the Computer, on the dull side, four to a page,
then cut them apart and had a wonderful time with the Glossy side...
I brayered one way, then and another way, in stripes and on angles, and even got fancy and tried plaids, its an easy way to do something that no one knows what the "right" look is, that way all of them are "right"...LOL doesn't have to be perfect, and its FUN! I just kept doing it until the
color was looking good. (Judgement call) I loved the plaid look, and the stripes too.

Then after I did that, I left them to dry overnight, and in the morning I stamped them with bold stamps, anything looked good, I used the Ancient Page ink pads, but the regular pads looked ok too. I tried both, but since it was RAINING
the day I made mine, that's why I used the Ancient Page, they can be used for water colors too, without running. I didn't want my hostess cards to get wet and the designs to disappear!

Anything looks good, this technique really makes you look like a pro!
Some Seashells looked great, and the fish, and any bold stamp looked good.

I use mine for brayering... but love to do a quick card and backgrounds with them. I had to do a co-workers birthday card and took a small swirl and dots stamp and started at one end of the pad and did some on the card... then cleaned it and then moved towards the next color and stamped on the card and did this over and over again until I had all the colors on the card... lots of different color swirly's too...

Great for bookmark sayings also...
