Multicolour Magic Rainbow Masterclass

There are so many ways to make your stamped images a vision of glorious multicoloured splendour! All the techniques I am going to share with you involve different ways of applying colour to a stamp, and they are all easy and fun to try and experiment with.

There are so many different techniques using different materials so it is a great way to look at your stamping stash you have. There is bound to be a technique here that you can try with the materials that you have.

The simplest techniques just need a couple of different colours of inkpad that work well together. So if you have a yellow and a blue inkpad for example, you have everything you need to get started with multicoloured stamping!

You can also use watercolour markers and even things like reinkers and embossing powder too. If you don’t have any reinkers in your stash then don’t worry! Try pressing out the ink from your ink pad onto a craft mat and use that instead. And if you don’t have watercolour markers, why not try using other watercolour paint and a brush?

Once you have mastered your chosen technique with a couple of colours, you can go all out and add as many colours as you want! Get a real rainbow of multiple colours into your stamping!

1

How to… make your own multicoloured inkpad. Trim the Cut-N-Dry foam to the required size. It must be large enough to cover your chosen stamp.

2

Add ink from the reinkers onto the cut foam. You don’t need too much and you can add all the colours in the order you want them.

3

Either dab the foam pad on the stamp or the other way around, whichever works for you, to ink up the stamp, then stamp onto cardstock as normal.
