Tips from the show

• Blend ink colours with your finger to avoid harsh lines between colours on the stamp.
• The reflection stamp is built so you don't have to worry about creating the reflection effect yourself—it's already designed into the stamp.
• You can make smaller versions of this card using just one colour instead of the ombre effect.
