Stamping – Top Tips

In answer to one of the comments left today about advice  for a newcomer to stamping, most regular readers know that stamping doesn’t come easy to me, especially when I see what other people produce for their blogs.
I keep things VERY simple,  almost always using a black Staz On ink pad because I have found it gives me the best results and dries very quickly, I then I do the  minimum of colouring in with Whisper or Pro Marker pens.
I usually stamp my chosen  design on Papermill linen card several times until I am happy with the result and then cut round it, to mat and layer – I don’t have the courage to stamp directly on a card blank.
As my friend Lisa is a Stampin Up Rep I tend to buy most of my stamps from her now and I have to say they do stamp like a dream.

    Hi Helen. I would reocmmend you use Versafine or Memento ink pads with your PROMARKERS AS YOU MAY GET IMAGE BLEEDING WITH STAZE ON AND PROMARKERS TOGETHER AS THEIR INGREDIENTS REACT

Thank you for wanting to leave a comment. I HATE verification and apologise for the extra bother it causes, however, if I don't have it I get all sorts of dubious spam added and the comments would be bogged down utter ***p!

Occasionally I get comments on posts from several years ago, again, I have to apologise, copies of TEMPLATES etc. that I once offered are now NO LONGER AVAILABLE, when my last computer died, I lost everything and decided not to replace any them.
