I like having choices when I create. I think it’s a good thing to see color palettes produced by different designers and/or companies. I love the Ranger colors, but am never going to ignore new options when I discover them. Enter Chalk Cloud Blending Inks from Cosmic Shimmer. Very matte colors (they’re chalk, so duh, of course they’re matte) that are very water reactive and produce some very interesting results in a nice, and different, range of colors.
Yes, these are inks, but I’m not going to stamp with them. In fact, you won’t see a stamp in the entire video. Instead, you’ll see me use water and gesso… Water so I can ghost and do other fun things and gesso, because it acts like a resist and makes for very interesting backgrounds.
Best of all? The entire line is on Introductory Sale and marked down 20%, so you can indulge in the entire set of 12 colors without breaking the bank. I think they’re versatile enough to warrant giving in and appeasing your need for the full set. Because #fullsetsyndrome happens. :+P

Have not seen these! Very pretty!
Very pretty! I do like the soft colours. Quick question – once they are dry are they permanent?
These seem similar to Distress Oxides. What would be the benefit of one over the other?
