Tips from the show

• Pigment ink has high oil content, so it stays wet longer than dye ink, allowing you to blend and manipulate colours before they dry.
• You can add clear embossing powder over pigment ink layers to seal them and prevent smudging.
• Experiment with different colour combinations—yellows, oranges, teals and bright pinks all work beautifully with these stencils.
