Direct to paper inking is applying ink directly from the inkpad onto your paper.

• Tips and Ideas:
  Edging: Hold the paper in one hand and the ink pad in the other. Run the ink along the edge of the paper.
• Peaks & valleys: Crumple your paper, then smooth it out (sanding is optional). Skim the paper with an ink pad, applying color to the “peaks”.
• Light coverage: Put the ink pad face down on the paper and lightly tap it to
  apply color.
• Heavy coverage: Put the ink pad face down on your paper and skim it across the paper, pressing the ink pad down as you go. Sweeping: Tap the bristles of the stippling brush onto the ink pad. Hold the brush at an angle and sweep it across the paper to color.
• Tapping: Tap the bristles of a stippling brush onto the ink pad. Hold the brush perpendicular to the paper and gently tap it onto the paper.
