Hi Marilyn!! Happy New Year!!! I've been away from my computer while on Vacation - Then I got sick, so it's taken me longer to get back to blogging and stuff in general - Headed back to work today and thought I would pop in to say HELLO! I am feeling better, at least well enough to sit at my computer and type this out! :) hopefully starting this weekend I'll be back to checking your blog daily as before - Big HUGS! :)
Hi Marilyn! I just wanted to answer your question that you had asked me about - YES If you use your printer for your projects like I do - and it's an ink jet printer - you should really use a sealer spray after it prints out - then let it sit and dry before adding any extras over it (like Wink of Stella) - I've learned this the hard way!! LOL When I would print my images out and cut them - then put my card together, I tend to pull out my wink of Stella pen to add a little sparkle - then noticed the ink jet printer color would start to fade and leave a weird look (hard to explain it) but then I went in search for answers and found the best thing to do was use an Acrylic Sealer Spray after you print your images - let them sit and dry completely - then go back and add your "extras" which should prevent the color from fading - I use 2 different kinds - I use "Plaid" Patricia Nimocks CLEAR Acrylic Sealer (I'm pretty sure this can be found at Walmart in the craft Section) and I also Use "Aleene's" Acrylic Sealer Matte Finish (can be found at craft stores) Not sure about Walmart too?? If I had a Laser printer I don't think I would have to worry about it - But ink Jet ink can fade out when putting Wink of Stella over it without a sealer.... I hope this was informative to you and helps! :)
Happy New Year, My friend. Wishing you a healthy year

ReplyDeleteThanks Theresa for answering my question. I will have to go look for these sealers and use them on my projects also because I do use an inkjet printer
DeleteHappy New Marilyn. Hope the new year thus far has been kind to you and that the rest will bring you health, happiness and many hours crafting.
