Default Question about Stazon ink??

I went to a workshop a week ago and we used Stazon ink to do a crayon resist technique. I am wondering what else you could use Stazon for?
I know all you wonderfully talented ladies out there can give me some wonderful ideas....I would appreciate any help!:p

Thanks, TrulySouthern

This isn't an exhaustive list, just a few of my favourite uses. You'll probably find a lot more if you Google it:

1. just as a black pad for use on paper/cardstock. It's really black and good for detail.
2. as outlines if you want to use watercolour pencils or crayons. It's not water-soluble so doesn't bleed into your colours when yuo get it wet.
3. on acetate or other non-porous surfaces. Do a search in the resources section as there are some good tutorials (e.g. acrylic smash) which use Staz On). Consider stamping small motifs in Staz on on large brads or buttons for a neat embellishment. Stamp frames on acetate for overlays for photos.
Just be careful when stamping on smooth surfaces that you don't slide the stamp. If you do and it smears, use Staz-On cleaner to wipe the suface clean and try again. Stamp on tiles, game chips, flat beads......

I love it. Once I got past the mental block of not wanting to use it on my pristine stamps in case I couldn't get then 100% clean again (sad!), I found I use it lots, and hardly use the SU classic black any more.

Other ideas, anyone?

I use StazOn to get a crisp image on glossy cardstock, for stamping on acetate and glass, for watercoloring. You will not be sorry if you buy a few basic colors. If you love it, there are so many great colors to buy later on!

Here are a couple more ideas:

stamp images on cellophane/sandwich treat bags
stamp image on golf balls so you can tell yours from others
stamp an image on your tools so when you travel/share you can get your back (back of paper trimmer, small baby wipe box, etc.)

Stazon is my fallback stamp pad when nothing else seems to work
