Use Re-inkers for Six Creative Techniques

Those forgotten re-inker bottles sitting in your drawer hold way more potential than just refreshing dry ink pads. Sara Naumann unveils six dynamic techniques that turn these into rich backgrounds and eye-catching accents.

What you'll learn

  • Stretch re-inkers beyond pad refills to create custom watercolors and sprays.
  • Mix highly concentrated liquid dye inks for rich, vibrant background washes.
  • Drop fluid re-inkers onto wet paper for spontaneous, high-contrast marbled textures.
  • Create custom alcohol-like ink resistance and splatter effects on watercolor paper.
  • Blend re-inker drops smoothly across card panels without creating muddy color patches.
  • Craft colorful artistic backgrounds using liquid ink refills already in your stash.
