I mainly used Stampin’ Write Markers to color the stamps and then stamp them. This allows you to have multiple colors on a stamped image, like the cactus is green and the flowers are yellow and red. Color your stamp with the marker and then breath on it to moisten it before stamping.

NOTE: do not use our Stampin’ Blends (alcohol) Markers!!!
