BASIC STAMPING - This idea will show the novice stamper the basics of the perfectly clear stamp! We have used VersaColor Pad Bisque (182), A5 Navy Blue card for background and Funstamp F-F67 3D Flower 1.

| 1. Taking your pigment pad lightly press the pad onto the stamp, not the stamp onto the pad, several times until the image outline is covered with ink. |

|
| 2. Push the stamp squarely (don't rock or the image will distort) onto the paper for a few seconds. |

|
| 3. Carefully remove stamp and leave image to dry whilst cleaning stamp. |

Hints and Tips
- Hold the stamp on the paper for a few seconds to allow the paper time to absord the ink.
- Clean the pad thoroughly using a baby wipe! As the pigment ink is water soluble you will not require a special cleaner.
Colour Advice
- Use light coloured stamp pads on dark backgrounds, conversely dark coloured pads on light.
