FlyGirlStampers Swirling Stars & Happiest of Holidays Sh
First of all, I am new to the community. Forgive me if I am not putting this in its proper place within the forums. But anyway, I found FlyGirlStamper's Swirling Starts and Happiest of Holidays shaker card and am wondering what ink she used to roll the Swirling Starts jumbo wheel. I know she used Hologram Highlights as the embossing powder, but what is the ink? Thank you in advance for your help!
I just went and found the card, and it says she used Versamark, which would give that same color a shade darker look as well as work for using the embossing powder... Hope that helps!
Thanks for the reply! Now would that mean that she bought the Versamark refill and filled an empty cell for the jumbo cartridge?
Perhaps, or if you are very careful you can roll your jumbo wheel over the versamark pad and try to accomplish it that way, what you would need to do is be sure you roll a few times over it and always in the same direction, then roll ONCE accross the card, then re ink the same way as the first time then roll again accross the card ONCE, and if needed repeat. I would try that first before I invested in the extra cartridge and VM refill...see if it works. I would try it with a jumbo wheel of mine but I have loaned mine and the handle to a customer right now!!!
If you do try it, will you let me know how it turns out? Just post here if you do try it!
Just a side note-I do what Keri suggests and use the pad. I did buy a small cartidge and VM reinker, but found it was not effective for me no matter how much reinker I used. I think b/c the Versamark is wetter longer, it is effective to just wheel it over the pad.
Just my 2 cents

Thanks so much to both of you!!! I may not try it for a while, but I wanted to know for when I place my next SU order. I wanted to know what I would need. Thanks again! Happy Valentine's Day!!!
I agree with Britta and Keri, I filled an empty cartridge with versamark and it isn't the greatest. You have to reink frequently, and it doesn't distribute the ink evenly. Have fun!
