Tips from the show

• You can use any colour combination you like on the solid portion – experiment with different ink pad colours.
• Make sure the colour portion is completely dry before stamping the outline on top, or the inks will blend together.
• This technique works beautifully in monochrome (grayscale) for sympathy cards or in bright colours for celebration cards.
