Twinkling H2O's + Prisma pencils + Gamsol?

[gingerd]

Hi ladies--I'm new here and a part time stamper......

So, here is my question--can I stamp an image, emboss it and then use a combo of TH2O's + Prisma/Gamsol?

I've played with the pencils/gamsol and haven't used my H2O's yet. I didn't know if one would trash the other.

If I do this which do I start with the pencils or H2O's?

Oh ya, I was also told that with the H2O's I'm better off embossing the image prior to using them.

Thanks much,
Ginger

Depending on the ink you use to stamp the image, you don't always have to emboss it before using the other techniques. If you use Brilliance or Stazon or Palette on a good quality paper you shouldn't have any problems. Don't use a pigment ink unless you are going to emboss. Dye inks you will want to test.

You can then use prismas and gamsol on your image and follow up with H20s. It does not work to start with H20s and then use the gamsol over them.

It's always a good idea to test your inks with the papers you are going to use before starting a project. That way you will know if there's any problems.

thank you so very much for the tips.

I wish I had some place here to take classes, but my only place is at Archivers.

Thanks again,
