This video aims to show when and how to use the alcohol-based inks (eg Stazon) along with the water-based inks (Eg Memento, Sahara Sand Stampin’Up! Ink pads etc) as outlines prior to coloring the images with watercolor.

Using the Stampin’Up! Set Apple Harvest, I will show the two different types of inks’ outcome once coloured. This video will also show techniques such as wet on wet, line and wash and no line watercoloring and eventually achieving two almost realistic looking apples!
