Tips from the show

Lamination stamps aren't perfect, and that's what makes them successful—the imperfection gives it a realistic, hand-painted look.
You can stamp only half of the design on the page to create the effect of the boat coming into view.
If you lose detail slightly when spraying with water, you can bring it back with a little gel pen.
