Tips from the show

• You can be creative by swapping elements and colours in and out of the lamination stamp range.
• Spray the stamp with water for a watercolour effect, but this is personal choice - experiment to see what works best for you.
• You will get a different look every time you use these stamps, so no two cards will be identical.
