INKING & ADDING COLOR TO FINELY DETAILED STAMPS
CLASSIC STAMPIN’ PADS (INK PADS) METHOD
This is the easiest way to put color on a stamp, and we do it all the time. At first seeing a flower stamped with just one color looks a bit odd or maybe even boring. We expect flowers to have colorful blooms with yellow or dark centers, and of course flowers have green stems and green leaves! Floral images stamped using a single color can create a focal point with the look of simple elegance.
Another way to use the single colored stamp image is as a background piece. Just stamp the image multiple times on the cardstock.

INKING STAMPS WITH SPONGE DAUBERS AND / OR STAMPIN’ WRITE MARKERS
Sponge daubers allow for a bit less precision of where the color goes, but it is a great method for adding a bit of shading and dimension to the image. Simply tap the sponge end of the dauber on the ink pad, the tap the inked dauber lightly on a piece of scrap paper to remove excess ink if you like. Ink the area of the stamp you want to be that color. Move on to the next color. Once all the ink colors are on the stamp, use the huffing technique to re- moisten the ink, and stamp.
When applying ink to stamps with markers or sponge daubers it is best to start with the lightest color first, move on to the next color, and end with the darkest color.
If one of the colors of ink covers a spot you do not want it to cover, simply wipe the ink away with the corner of a damp paper towel.
