Tips from the show

• Use watercolour cardstock with cotton content for best results, as it allows you to move colour around; cheaper cardstock absorbs moisture too quickly.
• Do not try to line up the lamination stamps perfectly—the sporadic, sketchy alignment is what creates the artistic effect.
• Heat dry between stamping layers to prevent black ink contamination with other colours.
