      I love everything about this video. Where can I purchase the ink , the ink pad, and the embossing heater? Can you give the brand of these items, that you would suggest please?
      Thank you

      @@nancyvickers5366 hi Nancy! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave me a comment ☺️ all of the products are linked in the description box below the video but if you let me know where you're based UK/USA/Australia etc then I can send the appropriate links for you or you can search the products yourself. I used Lisa Horton Interference Ink Mermaid Lagoon, Lisa Horton Metallic Inks in Silver and Bronze. My heat tool is from WOW embossing and it is a great heat tool as it has 2 settings so you can use it to heat emboss and dry mediums etc.

    Beautiful!! Must try the foam blender as my pad to paper often gives me ink where I don’t want it! It’s a tie between the blue and the black cards as a favorite, but really love them all. Thanks for the great tips! 🧑🏼‍🎨😀

      Thank you so much! So glad you liked them ☺️ yes pad to paper gives me mixed results too! You can always use a brayer if you have one but I really liked using my foam blenders. Felt they worked really well. Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave me a comment too ☺️ I really appreciate it! Have a great weekend ☺️

    How about a brayer to add the ink? I really like the silver and blue one! Just beautiful!

    • @meerkatmakesbyl-cardsbylaura
      @meerkatmakesbyl-cardsbylaura  Місяць тому +1

      You definitely could use a brayer if you have one..sadly mine is covered in acrylic paint and I use if for gel printing only. But a brayer would give great results. One day I'll invest in one for ink lol thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave me a comment ☺️ I really appreciate it ☺️ and so glad you liked the finished card!

    Beautiful cards. Have you tried applying the ink to the folder? I have done that to the opposite side where it colors the background and the design is color of cardstock. I'm sure you have
    Lol. Thanks for Sharing.

    Beautiful cards. I haven't used the Lisa Horton metallic pigments before. Do they rub off or smear without a fixative or being coated in embossing?

    • @meerkatmakesbyl-cardsbylaura
      @meerkatmakesbyl-cardsbylaura  Місяць тому

      Thank you so much for watching Amy ☺️ so glad you liked them. No fixative or embossing needing but you need to be sure to let them dry as they do take a while. 🙂
