So, I have experimented and researched more with the alcohol markers and with the inks to stamp the image. I am told that using Staz-on for your stamped image can ruin your markers because it is a solvent ink and can bleed into your marker. However, Staz-on was used for this purpose at convention this past summer. I am assuming because the CTMH markers are disposable vs. the refillable competitor markers, the issue is of lesser or no concern. So far, I have not noticed any adverse effects. But, I have also used archival black ink which was very effective. Most recently, I used our Slate pigment ink. Pigment inks need to be dried with a heat tool or set aside for a short period before coloring. I used a heat tool. I love the vibrant color of the pigment ink. The picture never tells the whole story but I only used the 2 shades of Blush markers to make all of these flowers. I just kept wanting to experiment with blending and the number of different shades of pink I could create.
