Tips from the show

• The solid portion of the stamp is black on the carrier sheet, showing you where to apply colour
• Watercolour card gives a different result than regular card stock, with ink sitting on the surface longer
• Don't worry about precise colour application; the watercolour effect works best with a loose, experimental approach
