Product Focus
If you've ever been a bit baffled by a new product that everyone seems to be talking about, wondered how something really worked, or what real crafters would say about it, we're here for you.
Next Wednesday, you'll see a new feature here in the Weekly Inkling. We've gathered a group of seasoned paper crafters, and periodically, they'll test a featured product and report findings to you with pictures and descriptions of how things work. You'll get the answers and how tos you need from people you know. We're excited about this new feature, and we hope you will be, too.
Unclaimed Prizes
Two weeks ago, many of our Inkling sponsors gave away almost 300 prizes. Surprisingly, we still have a few that are unclaimed. Check out the prize page. If you see your username listed and have NOT made contact with the sponsor company to claim your prize, contact us at advertising@splitcoaststampers.com. We'll get you hooked up. And hey, if we don't hear from you by May 1st, we'll assume you don't want to make room for the new loot in your stamp room.
See you next week!

Ask Beate
Beate Johns answers your technique questions
"Sorry! I answered last week's question wrong. I was asked about the Reinker splash technique, but mistakenly described the Ink, Spray and Smash Technique. The Reinker splash technique was featured by Pat Huntoon in a recent Technique Junkie Newsletter. I don't subscribe to that newsletter, so I can't explain more about the technique. Sorry for any confusion it might have caused."

Feedback From Past Tutorials
Kim has a suggestion for the Misting with Markers tutorial:”Another way to do this is to LIGHTLY mist your paper before you stamp the image. It will give you about the same effect."
