question about matte and clear acrylics

[Lisa62]

I need some help with inks,and other supplies.

Are matte and clear acylic sealers the same thing.or are they different.

also what are dye inks.and chalk inks how are they different.there are so many different inks out there.I want to do a lot of the techniques but some required using different inks.How many different ones are there and why can't they all be used to get the same effect.

I want ato make cards using these different techniques but not sure which ones I should buy first.I do already have some classic ink pads and some stazon.what inks seem to be used more than others for these special techniques.

What do you use the most?

Do you have a demo that you can talk too? It seems you have a lot of questions. I have a couple links here for you. Hope they help!

I have a huge variety of inks and paper and accessories just because there are so many awesome ideas and techniques out there. Stampin up is a great way to get started. They have high quality products and the demos know their stuff.

The main inks that I usually use are the dye based inks. I use only stampin up paper.

The only other place I can tell you to look is right here! This forum has hundreds if not thousands of ideas and techniques. There is a forum for stampers 101 even! A great place to get started! Put a call out for a demo in your area and meet up with them at a workshop or a stamp camp!

Matte acrylic spray is clear. The sealer comes in two different finishes -- matte and glossy.
