Coloring Stamps

 Did you know you can color on your stamps?

This is a fantastic technique especially when you have an image that has multiple parts to it but is all on one stamp. I used a floral image from the Suite Sampler stamp set. I think this is a beautiful image but I didn't want the stem and leaves to be same color as the flower. So I dug out my Stampin' Write markers and for this card I used the Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent markers. And I colored my stamp! I used the Fresh Freesia for the petals and the Soft Succulent for the stem and leaves.

When you have finished coloring your stamp you need to huff on the stamp just to make sure that the ink is still wet and then you stamp it down on your paper.

I highly recommend using a  stamp positioning tool like the Stamparatus for this technique so if the image doesn't come out clear or if parts of the image are missing you can re-stamp the image.

This technique is great for sentiment stamps with multiple lines of text. You can color each line a different color to add some extra color to your cards.

Happy Paper Crafting!
