I just bought a little ink mini from Versa Magic. Didn't realize it was chalk ink! I LOVE it. It does tend to smudge! But if I let it dry it looks like the ink was embossed. It is really pretty.
How could I have missed this ink?
Does anyone else out there know of other great inks?
Thanks!!
Lesley

I love the Versa Magic chalk ink dew drops! They are comprable to SU Craft ink spots, therefore they are wonderful for embossing with clear powder and a little heat with a gun to set it! If you haven't tried it, you must!
Cool! I didn't know you can emboss with versamagic ink. I have just discovered this ink and have been collecting them to use with my clear stamps, they are soooo much nicer then SU classic ink for the clear guys. And now I find out I can emboss with them. This just keeps getting better. Thanks for the info!

Wow. Thanks for the input! I actually did buy the dewdrop size!! I am wondering how white or off white would stamp? Does it show up very well?
I love the Versamagic inks...and yes white shows up ok...not as clear as SU craft ink, but that's the nature of it..it's a soft look. I mostly use the white for distressing, rarely do I stamp with it. When I want a true white, I emboss.

Have you ever reinked your dew drops? Does it work well?
I have Versamagic reinkers that a Japanese collegue orders from Japan. They are really good, the ink is very creamy and you only need a few drops. I think that a reinker bottle will last for years!!! I noticed that some of these inks tend to be a bit dry so, with a couple drops of reinker, they turn back to life.
I don't know if in the U.S. is easy to fine Versamagic reinkers, I don't find them here, that's why I order them to Japan. I love these inks, the coverage is great. Also, I love Brilliance and Memento (also from Tsukineko).
They are wonderful chalk inks. Great color selection and great coverage and there are some special techniques that you can do with chalk ink that I don't think you can do with other ink types (cannot remember off hand......).
Yeah these lil inks are awesome i loved them that much i started buying the full size ones, you can emboss, colour and allsorts with them, and the colours are yummy.

I LOVE my VersaMagic inks and have reinkers for my full sized pads. I agree a bottle of reinker will go a long way! I just wasn't sure about reinking the dew drops but now I'm going to try it!!
TAC carries the VersaMagic reinkers in all of the colors so I buy them from there (well, from me, hehe!!).
Thank you so much everyone for your help! If I have problems with reinking the dew drops I'll let you know.
What do you think about the Versa Magic Ink?
