Waterfront: Aqua Painter vs Blender Pen with Alcohol or Water

Rachael · May 22, 2020 · Leave a Comment

 

Hi Stampers!

I made a new version of the same style of card we did live on Wednesday on FB

but with the Waterfront stamp set.

Do you know the difference between Aqua Painters & Blender Pens?

If not or if you want a few more tips, watch and learn!

SEE VIDEO HERE

You can use WATER or ALCOHOL in your Aqua Painter.

IF you use water though, to be safe make sure to empty it each time you’re finished painting. The alcohol will be fine left inside.

A stamparatus or other stamp positioning tool will come in handy for this if you’re

  1. Making multiple cards
  2. Using watercolor paper which can sometimes be “toothy” and not give a great ink impression the first time
  3. Want to be precise

 

I prefer this Watercolor Paper :

This is another type if you’re just getting started:
