Adding glycerin will keep your mix wetter on the ink pad and give you longer open time on cardstock. (This ingredient is why inkpads aren't air tight but also don't dry out under normal conditions.) It may also prevent the ink colors from completely separating on the watercolor paper.
@@_MyInkieFingers 🤔 the only other possibility I can think of is some diluted propylene glycol... but adding a drop of water to the inkpad is an easier solution.
A wee suggestion for a substitute for ball bearing that won't rust. Use a glass bead, it'll have a bit of weight to be able to shake up inky mixtures but shouldn't affect the mix
I’m not sure if anyone has recommended this yet since it’s older video but I was actually going to suggest marbles. Glass marbles…you can get a bag from the Dollar (.25) Tree 😆 I actually bought a bag to use them in spray bottles… I’m going to be DIY’ING my own shimmer sprays with Mica Podwer Eyeshadow (also from the DT. But yea glass beads would probably work as well 😊
Getting some great tips and ideas. By the way if you use distilled water or boil and cool your water it kills any bacterial. You can then use for your brush cleaner and when making your mixes. Also with your mini ink pad Tim has said even they can't perfect the formula in a mini pad.
Have you considered adding a little glycerin to the mixture you use to make the ink pads? Glycerine is used to condition dry ink pads and because it’s sticky, it’s also used to help different compounds (like dye, water, and gouache) stay mixed; it may help. Thank you for sharing!
Very interesting experiment. I don't have any Stampin' Up colours but this would be a good way of making my own supply of DO sprays to co-ordinate with my existing DIs and DOs. I have 2 of the TH palettes - one has alcohol inks in it, reactivated by alcohol of course, and you can then paint with it rather than the usual daubing technique with alcohol inks. The other one is for my Perfect Pearls. I put a small amount of the powder in each depression and carefully add drops of water and mix them. They will set hard and you can use them like regular watercolour pans. It's a great way of adding a bit of co-ordinating shimmerin a very controlled way. I made my own labels for both palettes with my desktop publisher and printed them on acetate.

Tee hee...thank you Natalie sure you're subscribed as I figured out how they make Distress Resist Spray too! And that one is even easier than this one 😋😍💗
Instead of water you might want to try glycerin. Especially when dealing with the ink pad. Do a mixture of water and glycerin to keep it wetter longer. Although I'm not sure about the water reactivity once the glycerin is in there but you never know.
I've tried it and unfortunately itbwasnt a success. The water doesn't react as well as you suspected. Problem is, this is not what in an actual oxide pad so I can't really expect the same results. I was however hoping it would behave similar. One cam hope right? 😂😁❤️

New to all these DYIs and loving them. I'm a bit lost and wondering if this recipe/technique only works with the water based re-inkers which then creates the oxide effect? Would it work with actual oxide re-inkers? I need a weekend with no distractions to watch all your videos! There's so much to learn!
Catching you live from Virginia! Love your money saving ideas. May have to try your spritzer recipe, especially because you provide where we can get the "ingredients".

@@jesseb5112 lol you're too cute. You can always add some perfect pearls to any of the mixtures. Then u get the shimmer and it's much cheaper then the metallic watercolors. Or better yet, after you spray your piece, then hit with the shimmer spray afterwards too! As that will help mix and blend the DIY Oxide too 😉❤️
@@_MyInkieFingers Thank you! I use perfect pearls in pearl in a spray, and I have a metallic set. Darn good idea! I have already done the church Christmas cards, and most of the ones I will donate to the USO. I am currently trying to use up my random pieces, and give away groups of cards
@@_MyInkieFingers Rats, it's the viscosity I guess. Now I want to beat the problem I can see myself playing with this until I can beat it. Thanks so much for the heads up btw. It hadn't occurred to me to make my own oxides, but being an SU Demo (Australia) I like the idea of having oxides in SU colours. You really are brilliant you know?!
@@Kammitoes I know right? It kinda sucks. I'm going to try to add the glycerin in other ways rather than direct. I did try mixing it in before putting it on the pad, but I'm still not happy with the results. The water droplets/splatter also doesn't have such an intense effect with the glycerin in the mixture... My motors are still running though! haha
Hello,reinker ?its has to be disstress oxide ?or normal once ,and I wish to buy reinker for my crafty girl ,plese recomended any shop in uk we have only Tim holz to expensive with ship
@@_MyInkieFingers we do! I had an 8 ounce spray bottle, but I only put a little in it. I know me. I don't need big bottles. I need small bottles with intense color.
You are amazing. I really like the softness of the oxide inks and now I will have that with Stampin 'Up colors. Wish you lived in the states cause I would join under you.
I worked in wholesale packaging, it's not called a chamber it's called a dip tube, they come in different lengths. Misters are fine spraying sprayers. The 24/10 sprayers can be bought in bulk from a place called WSP, wholesale supplies plus. The stickers are called loose leaf reinforcement tabs. I was a purchasing agent for an art/office supply store and ran the art department (fine art only no scrapbooking supplies). Hth
The problem with glycerine is water doesn't react the same way when you try to splatter the blended ink on the paper. It wouldn't leave water spots so I wasn't very happy with the result. 😢
I'm going to order the gouache now. I have everything else. I considered trying to make it with white acrylic paint - but I don't want to mess with the process. Thanks for sharing your creations!
I agree. Gouache is made from acrylic & watercolor paint, but it's a very precise process to make it gouache. I didn't even want to try to figure out the process. Gouache is easy and can be used for so many other things. (including my splatters) 😉😎❤️
@@_MyInkieFingers I have some coming, should be here this week. I paint ceramics so I have 100s of colors, but nothing like that. I am excited to try it.
@@_MyInkieFingers only acrylic gouache has polymer (acrylic) in it. Watercolor gouache is made with the same binders as watercolor but it has larger pigment particles packed tightly together so light can not get through. Did you use gouache or acryl gouache? I wonder if it matters for your formula? I also thought the suggestion to add glycerin was smart. Your formula is a great idea! I loved your video, but I don't have any of the ingredients (except water😏) Sad day for me.
This is cool! I think I will start with some fall colors! What about that refreshing spray that you have ? I have a feeling that the refreshing spray has glycerin in it, so I plan on DIYing my own. It might be a good ingredient to add to help with blending the concoction as well to keep it moist, oxides do not dry fast....NO emojis since I"m on my desk top :-( Thank you for these great tips and party!!!!
I'll try it. But I try to stay away from glycerine as it won't allow the blend to be as smooth nor does it react with water nicely. The water spots end up looking like warts! 🤣🤣🤣
Interesting that your mini cubes dried up quickly. I remember Tim Holtz saying Oxides would never be released in the mini cube because the ink doesn't work in that size. Maybe they dried out too quick?
I don't think that's the case. Primarily because these are not actually true oxide inks. I think I need something to keep it moist. I'm trying a few things to see what I can come up with 😉❤️ fingers X'ed
@@_MyInkieFingers I'm thinking you may need to add glycerine to it. It keeps the 'ink' moist longer I believe. Loved the video, very interesting. Thanks for sharing the info.
@@audreysmocovich8380 yes my thoughts exactly. But then the ink doesn't react properly when Distressing with water. Like when you splatter droplets and such. 😥
Just be careful they don't rust. Perhaps try in a small amount first. Also, just so you know, if they do rust, the rust stains the inside of your spritzer. 😉
Even though I have signed in to my Stampin' Up account, when I follow your links, it tells me to sign in, once I do, it takes me to the 'front' page and what I was trying to look at is gone...frustrating! Blessings.
The only thing people might like to consider in relation to water reactivity is that the type of gouache they use could well be a factor. When used in painting, Acrylic gouache is not supposed to reactivate after it dries like “normal” gouache does. I think there is a good chance that using acrylic gouache would not be successful for the purpose to which you have put it in this video.
You should add some glysterin to the water you add & it shouldn’t evaporate so quickly. At least from my understanding of things. Loving these diy recipes 👍🏼😁⭐️
Good idea, but the only problem is glycerine prevents it from reacting nicely when splattering with water for the water drops look. I'm trying distress refresher... Oh how I wish I was a true chemist and could decipher what's ACTUALLY in all these products! Haha 🤣🤣
ONLY 65 MORE Likes (Thumbs up under the video) and I'll make a video to show you how I paint with the new "Inkie Oxides" I've concocted 😁😜💗
Adding glycerin will keep your mix wetter on the ink pad and give you longer open time on cardstock. (This ingredient is why inkpads aren't air tight but also don't dry out under normal conditions.) It may also prevent the ink colors from completely separating on the watercolor paper.
While this may be true, glycerin prevents the water from reacting with the ink properly (for distress purposes). Shame really. 🤔

I loved your video, but I don't have any of the ingredients (except water😏) Sad day for me.
@@taylorjudi I only use regular gouache. Seems it has become an Inkie staple! 🤣🤣
Cool
It sure is isn't it?! Thanks Deb 😁💗
Where did you get that pallete? I’ve tried to click the link on a few videos but it doesn’t work
I checked the link in this video and it works 😊🌷 geni.us/Np7IA
If you had pre-sprayed your water color sheets w water or used a paint brush to moisten the paper thoroughly the swatches wouldn’t separate.
There's an idea. A lot of t of extra work (especially when painting a detailed BG like I showed in the beginning) but still an idea to try 💡😉
I wonder if their agent to prevent drying is a bit of glycerin?
Glycerine doesn't play well with the water resist. The water spots end up looking like warts! 🤣🤣
will this work with alcohol inks?
I would say no as Alcohol Inks do not work well with water. 😉
Great 🥇 🏆🙂🙏🏼
Thanks Lucy 😊❤️
Hello Cindy-Lynn
Gonna try...I think I must have misunderstood your spray recipe...got my Winston iridescent..it all sits at bottom..never mixes in
Mix it with heat protectant spray. Shake before you spray it. Mine settles too. That's natural 😉❤️
This is cool! I think I will start with some fall colors! What about that refreshing spray that you have ? I have a feeling that the refreshing spray has glycerin in it, so I plan on DIYing my own. It might be a good ingredient to add to help with blending the concoction as well to keep it moist, oxides do not dry fast....NO emojis since I"m on my desk top :-( Thank you for these great tips and party!!!!
I'll try it. But I try to stay away from glycerine as it won't allow the blend to be as smooth nor does it react with water nicely. The water spots end up looking like warts! 🤣🤣🤣
@@_MyInkieFingers warts!!!!!😳😳😳😳
@@created2bless322 lmao for reals! 🤣🤣🤣
@@_MyInkieFingers now I have to give a go and see these warts! Dang that would have been perfect for a witch!!!!!! 😭😭😭
@@created2bless322 hahahaha that's exactly what Cheryl-Lee said today in zoom when I showed her! 🤣🤣🤣
Interesting that your mini cubes dried up quickly. I remember Tim Holtz saying Oxides would never be released in the mini cube because the ink doesn't work in that size. Maybe they dried out too quick?
I don't think that's the case. Primarily because these are not actually true oxide inks. I think I need something to keep it moist. I'm trying a few things to see what I can come up with 😉❤️ fingers X'ed
@@_MyInkieFingers Do you think a squirt or two from the ranger refresher would keep it moist enough to work?
@@littlebit9698 Smartie pants! 🤣🤣 I'm already testing it lol. Tried it yesterday and it activated.... See how it fairs by weeks end 😉👍
@@_MyInkieFingers I'm thinking you may need to add glycerine to it. It keeps the 'ink' moist longer I believe. Loved the video, very interesting. Thanks for sharing the info.
@@audreysmocovich8380 yes my thoughts exactly. But then the ink doesn't react properly when Distressing with water. Like when you splatter droplets and such. 😥
My son has magnetic balls that would be the perfect size to put into the spray bottles. I'm going to try them. We just ordered them off the internet.
Just be careful they don't rust. Perhaps try in a small amount first. Also, just so you know, if they do rust, the rust stains the inside of your spritzer. 😉
Even though I have signed in to my Stampin' Up account, when I follow your links, it tells me to sign in, once I do, it takes me to the 'front' page and what I was trying to look at is gone...frustrating! Blessings.
Can you tell me which link you're having trouble with please? As they all seem to work for me, but I can check it incognito for you 😉💗
Have you tried putting a drop of gulicerin to your ink pad?
Yes, but glycerin prevents the water from reacting with the ink properly (for distress purposes) I'm trying a couple other things 😉💗
The only thing people might like to consider in relation to water reactivity is that the type of gouache they use could well be a factor. When used in painting, Acrylic gouache is not supposed to reactivate after it dries like “normal” gouache does. I think there is a good chance that using acrylic gouache would not be successful for the purpose to which you have put it in this video.
Where may I find the PDF (swatch) please?
Thanks for asking Denise! I forgot to link it. I've updated the description 😉💗
@@_MyInkieFingers thank you so much, you're the best!
Wonder if you could use bee-bee gun bee-bees instead of steel ball bearings?🤔
I have no idea. I've yet to test a ball that works. But I'm on it and will update the description when I find one that works 😉💗
@@_MyInkieFingers sounds great! I'll be anxiously waiting 😉🥰
I saw the recipe (I think) for a split second... now I can't find it!
Can you help me!? 🤪
The recipe is explained in the video 😊💗
Activate with glycerin
Unfortunately the glycerin prevents it from blending well 😥
What do you mean "your team"? Sounds MLM/cult ish but I'm sure it's not lol. Sorry first video so new here
Try glycerin...
Good idea, which I tried. But glycerin prevents the water from reacting with the ink properly (for distress purposes) 😢
@@_MyInkieFingers I wondered about that. Good to know though. 😊
You should add some glysterin to the water you add & it shouldn’t evaporate so quickly. At least from my understanding of things. Loving these diy recipes 👍🏼😁⭐️
Good idea, but the only problem is glycerine prevents it from reacting nicely when splattering with water for the water drops look. I'm trying distress refresher... Oh how I wish I was a true chemist and could decipher what's ACTUALLY in all these products! Haha 🤣🤣
