Hi, Karen! Thank you so much for taking the time to explain the differences between the two formulas in these pads. Also, a huge thanks for showing us how they perform when used in coloring books. This information is priceless! I've learned so much from watching your channel which has filled me with so much inspiration and unique techniques just over this past year. Because of your videos my coloring skills have improved tremendously. Have a great day and a lovely weekend!🖌🖍🎨💕

I never thought of using either type of ink in books, so this was helpful in many ways. Thank you so much!

I am so happy you did this video. I would have accidently ordered some of the Oxide thinking they were the Distressed. Thank you so much for giving info on both and how to use them. All your videos are so good. Thank you so much for your channel.

Thank you for this helpful demonstration!

They should sponsor you for giving them so much advertisement through your videos. I guarantee most people are like me and had no idea that this even existed until watching a video of yours

Thanks so much for this. I recently bought some of both, and honestly didn’t know what the difference was.

I really like your videos. You have a ‘no nonsense style’ meaning just what we need to hear, not a lot of chit chat. You also have a pleasant tone and modulation in your voice quality. Calming. If you could only do a video for every thing i need to learn! Thanks for this lesson

Thx for the comparison Karen......I have the oxides I bought for backgrounds, nice to know the inks would be better for the designs. 💚

Thank you for the demo

This is a great video. Thank you for showing the differences. I think I will stick with adding the distress to my collection

Such a helpful video and you really did explain all of the things that I was wondering.

Thank you. Very interesting and useful video. ❤

Thank you for the demo. They would look great as card background but I don't even want to think about going down that rabbit hole.

Thank you for sharing. I ve just bought a lot of distress inks☺️, after watching your video, i m happy to see that a did a good choice☺️

Interesting...I’ve used stamp inks to paint but don’t have any TH..like the distressed but not the oxides...ty for expanding my knowledge...🥰

Thank you for explaining the difference. I have a lot of inks but I have been hesitant to use them.

I only like the distress inks and have used them a long time. Thank you for showing all the differences. I Know I am sticking with distress inks. :)

Thank you for this really informative video Karen, I have neither of the inks, though did have the distress inks in my amazon wish list for general use in my journals etc. I have re looked at these following your video and swapped these for the archival inks as I have read that these are water proof so would be better to use with stamps and then watercolour work on top. So this video was so very helpful and given me some extra knowledge Karen, thank you for sharing. :)

Very interesting. I have used Tim holtz products for years and I use the oxide inks on tags and other artwork but can’t imagine using it in a colour book. Perhaps as you say you could use it on a background but sometimes the oxide reacts unexpectedly and you get a different result that what you attended. Thank you for this experiment and your colouring is amazing.

You are the queen of Distress Ink! Seems like no one has your “special touch”

Thank you for this information, I was wondering about the difference, Now I know, really helpful

Awesome video don't have any of them would love to try soon getting ready to watch the video see which ones are going to be on my wish list's. 💗💗💝

Thank you so much for doing this video. I was wondering what the difference was. Now, I know. :)

Thank you again. These tutorials are awesome. I am going to pull out my inks and play with them. I did at the end see you color over the ink with your colored pencil. Is that how you always color your pages? Background first and then images? I probably have aked this question before. I just found you today and this is my fourth video of yours that I have watched today. Xoxo 😊

I do both ways, just depends on the page 😸

Thanks for a great video, I have a few distress oxides I might try on a printed image before a colour book now xxx💕

I just bought 12 of the mini regular distress inks for backgrounds for my books. Glad I did not get the oxide

Great tutorial on this medium...I always love your work with the distress inks....Thanks so much Karen.....Cathy☀️

Have you tried the memento inks? The ones shaped like a drop? I was watching 2 other colorists on KZread one of which has alot of them and uses them alot in her books. Anyway they have some really nice deep dark vibrant colors in the memento line. I think they are dye based and sit on top of the paper? I like alot of the distressed Ink colors, but feel alot of times I would like more deep dark bold colors. What are your thoughts on them? Thank you. 💜

I have some of the dew drops, I prefer Distress inks as they will not bleed through any pages... just my preference though

I went and bought some of the Ink's in the smaller size. Now, either they are Old or something is wrong with them, but I did not get the results you get. Luckily I only tried them on regular paper. As I rubbed them on the paper , they looked horrible. I don't know what I'm doing wrong !! I did not use any water. Also, it took A LOT of rubbing onto the pad to get ink on the pad. Now, I don't want to use them !!!! I'm so stressed out about it !!! LOL !!! Love your coloring honey !! Your Awesome !!! Hugs !! What do you use the most of ?? The ink or the Oxide ??

How do you not get lines

Hi, Does one have to add water to the original distress ink or can we just leave it. I try so many mediums and ruin my pages. i use less expensive books to test, but I ruined a page from Romantic country using intense pan paint. I tried Neocolor II and it buckled the page in the Posh colouring book. I heard that a working fixative spray will turn chalk pastel white. I'm going crazy trying to figure this all out and spending money on products that aren't working out. Very new to adult colouring though.

You do not add water to distress ink you use it as is.

@@ZucchiniKitty Thanks for getting back to me. in your opinion, which medium would be easiest for me ? One that won't bleed through or buckle the page? If it's distress ink, what are the basic colours that I should purchase to make some nice simple backgrounds?

@@karinswartz3046 distress ink do not bleed though and do not buckle the page but do take some time to master... practice is a must. They react differently on the different pages in books... test page is also a must. basic colors would be the ones you like best, there is a big selection in the distress line. I like blues and purples for skies, greens for grass and trees. but backgrounds could be complimentary to the main part of the page...
