Step by step

1. Place the first numbered stencil (number facing you) on white cardstock. ▶ watch 52:30

5. Apply a second colour through the stencil using an ink pad or sponge dauber. ▶ watch 55:15

Tips from the show

• Pounce with the ink pad or touch stick using an up-and-down motion like bingo daubers; dragging will not work effectively.
• If you do not have a dark red ink, layer blue or purple over red to create a deeper burgundy shade.
• The izink Touch sticks are for touching up and adding detail, not for covering large areas; they will run out quickly if overused.
