Tips from the show

You can use any colours you wish—monochromatics for a sketch feel, or colours matching a wedding theme.
The design is forgiving; it does not need to line up perfectly as it creates an artistic effect.
If you struggle with alignment, the stamp packet provides a guide showing where everything needs to be.
