Been thinking about it as I have Antique Linen sitting in the closet...
I looked for a better place for this, but the altered deck thread is so long. I know it would be hard, but I do wish the inking had its own thread, separate from the trimming and whacking.
For the record, I could strangle Tim Holtz - I can watch his video and come away not knowing what color he used or with any clue of what to do with the stuff. I guess you buy the ink and then see what color it is?
...I've been holding a card and running the marker along each long edge, then the short sides, and finishing up with the corners. It's slow.
...Likely they make wider markers. I have been trying to think what it reminds me of - it was a freebie stack of post-it notes. Well that is a classy look.

Tanga,
I was so glad I had never commented that it had looked like the edges on some had missed spots! Although perhaps someone would have warned me that they just tend to turn out like that instead of being offended. I think it is just the way the edges absorb the ink, particularly on this one which is roughed up.
I know the inks are labeled and there are some YouTube videos that give you some idea on the colors of a few. Let us know if there is another alternative to the Antique Linen. I was wondering what other green might work. Someone mentioned one that was more "blue" than the olive (?). Forest, I think. I would have to look (and decide if I wanted green anyway.
The only thing that is in the back of my mind is that some day these will hit the secondary market, along with the trimmed ones and people will not mention the alterations or even recognize them on some...

I expect the Barbara Walker was used and I wonder how much difference that makes. I suspect it might make a good deal of difference in how it took the ink.
It looks like my marker may be discontinued so if I run out of paint...
