Tips from the show

• Make three cards at once to avoid repeatedly putting away and getting out your inks and supplies.
• The second stamp does not need to match up perfectly—the design is forgiving and free-flowing.
• Use any water-based inks you have in your stash, including distress inks, for the first coloured layer.
