Tips from the show

• Don't be precious about colour placement; the more the colours bleed and run together, the more realistic the watercolour effect will look.
• There is scope for error with stamp alignment; slight misalignment actually makes the design look more realistic and carefree.
• Scan the QR codes on the product packaging for additional inspiration and guidance on using the stamp set.
