3 Ways to Paint with VersaFine Clair

VersaFine Clair is great for using with wet mediums because it’s oil-based formula won’t interact with paints or sprays. But I also wondered what else I could do with this very versatile ink. I discovered that VersaFine Clair’s quick-drying formulation makes for a wonderful, texture-rich dry brush effect when combined with Fantastix and that, while you can’t make a fluid medium with it with water-based thinners, a little bit of added oil will work! I had a lot of fun reaching beyond traditional techniques to create my “painted desert” scene.

Generation Layered Stamping

I created a simple yet gorgeous card perfect for Valentine’s Day. I used very few supplies to create this and the main hero of the card is the Versafine Clair Inkpad in Glamorous, though you could use the same technique with all the colors. Not only did I used it to create my coordinated colored cardstock, I used only one stamp pad in layering 3D image. I did 1st and 2nd generation stamping to get two shades from one ink pad which has quite stunning results.
