Shades of distress ink to buy in starting

Hello crafty souls!!!

Hope you are experimenting new things every day. Distress ink is the important tool that every crafter use. But those who are new and want to buy the inks for them, they must be having a big wisdom in their mind... WHICH COLORS TO BUY IN STARTING? When I started I really had no clue where to start... 😎😎

Then I did some research and came up with the decision to buy 10 inks for me. I started with vintage photo, walnut stain, faded jeans, worn lipstick, mustard seed, peacock feather, picked raspberry, squeezed lemon, dusty concord and festive berries.

It is very important that you should know your requirements before choosing the colors:
*If you want to give your project vintage and antique look you should go for walnut stain and vintage photo.

*If you want to highlight the edges you can choose the medium shade of that particular shade.

*If you want to make the background then you should choose those colors which blend which other nicely. I choose one basic color and it's light and dark shade.

Shades of pink, red, purple blends beautifully, shades of blue, green and yellow blends well. Brown shades gives vintage look.

I segregated the shades accordion to their colors below:

Brown:  Vintage photo , Antique linen(l), walnut stain(d)

Black: Black soot

Green:  Shabby China, bundled sage / crushed olive(l), peeled paint (d)

Blue: Broken China, tumbled glass (l), faded jeans/chipped sapphire(d)

Pink: Worn lipstick, spun sugar(l),  Victorian velvet(d)

Yellow: Wild honey/ musturd seed

Orange: Rusty hinge

Purple: Milled lavender/dusty concord

Red: Fired brick/ Aged mahogany (reddish brown)

Grey: Old paper/ weathered wood

** Here (l) stands for light and (d) stands for dark

Bright colours

Blue: Salty ocean, Peacock feather

Pink: Picked raspberry

Green: Mowed lawn

Yellow: Squeezed lemonade

Orange: Ripe persimmon

Red: Festive berries

This is my list... Don't be afraid to experiment and create your own list.

How to Store Artistry inks

Hello all crafty souls. Hope you all are fine and inspire yourself with the new projects. We all use distress inks for various projects or I can say for every project.

How many of you are using Artistry inks?

I am using these inks from few months. These inks comes in very good shades and the colors are very bright and vibrant. The quality of these inks are very good. These inks are easily blend and reacts very beautifully with water but I think most of us are having problem with storing these inks.

As these inks are very juicy they overflows from the box and spoil your surface and even the box. I have two sets of mini inks pads. I kept them in the drawer but after one month it started overflowing....😥😥

I wiped the ink pads with tissue and kept it straight but that doesn't worked. After some days the situation was same😓😓

I had to figure out some solution for the storage and I think I found and happy with the result😆😆

I took one sweet box and kept my ink pads straight like this:

Now the ink pads are fine and not bleeding any more. This is my personal experience and I'm not complaining the product, I'm only sharing what I felt.

Hope this article will help you to store your Artistry ink pads too. Please share your experiences also.

Thanks a ton

Bye for now!!!
