LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE is so very much so much fun …Thank you so very much for the tutorial Betsy!!
what an amazing concept gosh I can’t believe the outcome from a comb wow. You sure are one clever, creative and talented gal. TFS!!!
What a fun technique! It’s got me thinking about objects that would make a nice design in the ink. Hmmm…
This is so amazing and fun! It looks awesome! Thank you so much for your idea 🙂
Love seeing this technique and will try it out today! It does make me stop and think about what other household items will add unique textures…may go thu the kitchen drawers.
Wonderful way to adding texture. I need to think out-of-the-box more! Val from IL.

What a great technique and video. Love the cards, too. Thanks so much.
Very inspiring technique, great video. The resulting texture on the card is wonderful.
What a fun way to add something different!
Thank you for reintroducing the idea of texturizing. I use to do it with paint, but the paint was first and then the texturing. The tips you give Betsy, are the best. (Wipe the comb, but with a dry towel.) Even knowing how you achieved the effect, it still is not obvious how you made the diamonds look like that. I’m madly trying to think what other item could be used to make a texture. So far, maybe taking the little spring bugs (I find while house-keeping), and having them jiggerbug across the inked surface, where upon I take them and toss them outdoors with their cute little painted feet, so that the other bugs can laugh at them. (Easy to tell I get side-tracked when I think, huh.) Thanks for another fabulous lesson!
I just adore how you guys come up with such wonderful designs!
I love the technique. It really changed the look of the stamps. Thank you for introducing it to us. I liked the texture that the comb gave to the stamps. It makes me want to try other items that I may have in my home.
So cool, reminds me of wood grain!! Love the crosshatch technique too 🙂 Can’t wait to play along, thanks for another great video Betsy!
Now I would NEVER have thought of these! LOVE them!!! Thank you so much 🙂
Love all the new products!!! Can’t wait to try them! Thank you.
Gorgeous stuff!! Can’t wait to try this technique myself! Thanks for the inspiration!
Oh my! GORGEOUS cards!!! I just love the B&W one…that sold me officially on Ruby Rose! 🙂
i love that baby card, the colors are amazing and it just sings to me 🙂 great tutorial as well. thanks a bunch
Thanks so much for sharing another way to get a different look from stamps! I love how it has almost a 3D effect on the diamonds! I can’t wait to give it a try!
