Stampin' Up! offers two kinds of dye inks - classic (waterbased) dye ink and a waterproof dye ink.  The waterproof ink are Basic Black, Basic Brown, and Basic Grey.  The really neat thing about the waterproof inks is that you can colour in images using water mediums (watercolours, paints, twinkling h2o's, watercolour pencils, watercolour crayons, etc) WITHOUT having to emboss or seal the ink.

 

If, for example, we stamped an outline image in a waterbased ink and then tried to watercolour the image, the outline would run and smear.  The waterproof inks will hold fast, particularly when used with stamping specific cardstock, such as our Whisper White or Very Vanilla.

 

The above sample, however, is stamped with Regal Rose and yet the Paisley background is coloured in without smearing . . . How?  Blender pens!  These are double tipped markers with no colour to them; you must pick up the colour from elsewhere.  Here, I've picked up the colour from the lid of my ink pads, but you can use any of the above mentioned products and more.  The blender pen has a solvent in it rather than water, so it is ideal to use with your dye inks for adding a bit more colour to your works of art!
