Tips - Erasing Pigment Ink

You know how you make a masterpiece card, and you’re looking at it and admiring it, and somehow a stray bit of ink gets onto it, just as you’re ready to say “this is the most perfect card I’ve ever made”. It’s usually a metallic ink that does this, not something that will quietly fade into the background.

When this happens, I just USE MY ERASER, and the stray inkmark comes right off. This obviously won’t work with a dye or permanent ink, because they are dry almost as soon as the stray inkmark attacks your paper. But it definitely works on pigment ink, even when it’s had a chance to dry a little.

I use a “Clic” brand eraser that looks like a pen, and you click the thingie on the side to make more eraser appear as needed. You could use any type of eraser, but the benefit of a pencil-type eraser is that you don’t have to worry about it getting in an area where you didn’t want something erased. No sense fixing one boo-boo only to create another one!
