Tips from the show

• You can use just one colour on the third stencil layer if you cannot achieve a darker shade—black is always an option for extra dimension.
• Don't be precious about achieving smooth blends; the layering process naturally hides imperfections and adds texture.
• Stamping with the same ink colour as your blending intensifies the lines and creates a cohesive design.
