Curious about walnut ink? Wondering what it is, how to use it and where to get it? Let Susan tell you how!

Q. I hear a lot about walnut ink…what is it, and how can I use it on my paper crafts? Also, I heard it comes in different forms. What’s the best way to buy it?

A. Walnut ink comes in crystal and liquid forms and it’s a great way to add faux-aging, texture and dimension to your quotes, papers and cards. You can control the strength of the ink with the amount of water you use.
