Tips from the show

• Use only light taps on the ink pad rather than heavy stamping pressure, as the ink is very juicy and will waste if over-applied.
• Dry between layers if you want to add more white, as inking over wet white will pull the ink back onto your stamp.
• This is the brightest white ink pad available, requiring only one stamp application for full opacity.
