Tips uit de show

• You don't need to emboss the sentiment; the black ink pops effectively on its own against the tartan background.
• Don't worry about colouring the watercolour perfectly; light splatters and loose washes create an effective artistic look.
• Follow the light pencil lines already on the stamp to know where to add shading when watercolouring.
