Create Backgrounds with Distress Inks

Stamp Inks for Bullet Journals
Starting my Bullet Journal Stamping Series with stamp inks for bullet journals. I decided to kick off talking about the inks first since they make the biggest difference. There are so many varieties of stamp inks out there, so I figured, before talking about your stamping basics, I would share the mysteries behind the different ink varieties first. I go a step further and test the different inks in an 80GSM, 90GSM, 100GSM, 120GSM, and a 160GSM bullet journal so that you can see and decide for yourself. You can watch the video here. It is a bit of a lengthy one but it was a lot to fit in.…
