Tips from the show

Changing the colour combination completely transforms the look of the stamp, making it appear like snowflakes rather than poinsettias.
White or silver embossing powder works beautifully on darker coloured card bases to showcase the detail.
If the outline stamp does not line up perfectly with the watercoloured base, it will still look beautiful and realistic.
