Blender Pen Coloring
by Jenna Roby
- Rubber stamped image done using waterproof archival or permanent ink
- Dye ink pads with semi-flexible lids
- Light neutral colored card stock
- Blender pen
- Scrap paper
-
Choose a color of dye ink (your lightest color is the best place to start) & gently press the closed dye ink pad lid into the surface of the of the ink pad creating a “puddle” of concentrated ink on the inside of the lid.
-
Open the ink pad and use the tip of the blender pen to pick up some ink and use to color in particular areas of the dry stamped image. (If the outline ink is still wet, it will smear.) Pick up more ink as needed to create the density of color desired.
-
When you finish with one color, gently scribble the inked pen tip across the scrap paper until no color comes off. The tip will become stained with use, but as long as no color comes off on the scrap paper the pen is ready to use with another color.
This technique is great for creating water colored effects and for when you don’t have a marker to match a particular dye ink pad.
