I know I want it for how it seals things, but I've been trying to find out what you can glue/layer on top of it...
I'm wondering if Matte Medium or a gel medium will stick overtop of it?
I want to use it to seal distress ink stuff I do in my journal, but I still want to be able to add stuff on top... If I can use something like Matte Medium over it, then I know I'll be able to glue papers down, add more ink, add paint, etc...
A video I watched showed that stamping over it with a Distress Ink gives a paler, muted tone to the colour of the ink... Do Memento, VersaFine, or StazOn inks stamp paler as well? How do chalk/pigment inks stamp?
TIA

If you are not in a desperate hurry, I can do a couple of experiments for you. I am useless at posting photos but I can report back here. Great questions!

OK, I have done a quick tag. Blended background, DI in 2 colors. Stamped on top with DI. Applied microglaze to these 2 little circular motifs. Blended a 3rd, lighter DI over the whole tag (trick we were taught to brighten the colors) then rubbed the excess off the circular, glazed spots. Applied microglaze over the whole tag. Put multimedium on 2 small diecuts, stuck them on. Peeled up one of them successfully when almost dry, left the other one to dry fully. Stamping experiments on top: Jet black Stazon (old pad) significantly lighter than on plain PP. Jet black Archival looks normal to me. Tsukineko Brilliance looks normal. ColorBox chalk a bit lighter. Archival does not smudge after a couple of minutes, Brilliance smudged. ColorBox smudged. Last experiment: I can peel the diecut up a bit on the edges but it is not in danger of falling off. To remove it I would have to rip it/ the tag. I am not 100% sure about the Stazon as the pad is so old- I am an Archival ink fan and have not bothered to replace my old pad. Good luck and please let us know what results you get  |

Is this the same thing as Judikins Micro Glaze? I have used the Judikins one for years. Love it. I like to seal my text with it when printing or typing text.

Good luck and please let us know what results you get YOU'RE AMAZING! Thank you so much! That's exactly the information I had been trying to find - and more I love Distress Inks and could tell that the Glaze would word for mini albums/home dec stuff (really excited to make an advent calendar for this year), just wasn't sure if it would work for mixed media/art journalling too... I have seen people use it to seal their Bible journalling, but the example I saw didn't have a lot of building of of layers like I've seen in art journals... With thinner pages and wanting the Bible to still close, it makes sense to not do a lot of heavy/thick layers... I've never take a Distress Ink class... Did you take one online or in person? I'm intrigued by your tip of using a lighter colour all over the tag... Thanks again so much... |

Kind words, penny I am a dilettante at best. I hang around some amazing mixed-media types a couple of times a year though. I need to retire/ take a sabbatical to catch up on my scrapping, but a quick tag helps with keeping my eye in, gives me a break from boring mega-long documents like the one I was stuck with yesterday. Quick follow-up on the "brighten up" tip (I have been lucky enough to take 3 public classes and a masterclass from Tim over the years- I am a bit of a scrapping tourist  and I highly recommend CC101 and 102- you can take these from Online card classes) the go-to colours that I remember without looking anything up are Antique Linen and Squeezed Lemonade. SL will give you that sunshiny glow, a little something extra, over most colours (yesterday on my tag it was a blue and a green, it worked. I think there are some colour combos this is not recommended for, can't remember details right now). AL is a fail-safe option, goes well over all of the DI's. Try it to lift a blended background which has ended up a bit dark; it can also help to smooth over a ragged edge or join between blended colours or places where your hand might have slipped and you have ended up with a "mark". I am not explaining that well, hope you can figure it out. |

ScrapsontheRocks Thanks for the class info - I'm going to take a look at them... And I'm going to experiment with SL and AL... The brightening and blending of them sounds great... I'm so excited... I love playing with mixed media but could never get it to 'fit' with scrapbooking if that makes sense, and I have so many cute supplies that I could never find the right layout for... Art journaling has been wonderful (for the whole two weeks I've been into it  ), because I've been getting to use all the things I bought purely because I loved them... Thanks again for testing it out
