Tips from the show

You can create your own unique scenes by choosing which colours to use for different elements; the reflection stamp is versatile and not limited to black.
Picking the right colours helps you build a cohesive landscape—for example, blue for trees and black for silhouettes creates a natural look.
You are the master of your own artwork; stamp elements wherever you want to tell your own story.
