Tips from the show

Use watercolour card stock for best results as the ink sits on the surface longer, allowing you to move it around; regular card stock will absorb the ink immediately
If the detail stamp doesn't show clearly enough, you can go over it again with black ink to bring it to life
Lamination looks fantastic even if the stamps aren't perfectly aligned
