Use a dragonfly stamp as a resist to create a striking background. Spray colour over the stamped image, then use kitchen roll to lift and blend the colour, leaving the stamped area protected and creating a beautiful resist effect.

Tips from the show

• Keep reusing the same piece of kitchen roll for mopping up—it will become saturated with different colours
• Once dry, you can run the kitchen roll through a die-cutting machine to use it as a patterned background
