3 Juicy markers - brush type works best

Fold your glossy cs into card Ink your stamp with the lightest colored ink pad Take the lightest color marker and tap the brush end (thump it) all over the stamp. Thumping is like hitting the stick on a drum Take your next lightest and repeat. Finish with the darkest marker. ***ALWAYS work from light to dark with your colors. You don't want dark in your light markers. Breathe on the stamp to remoisten the ink Stamp the image on the card. (it may take a few minutes to dry completely. You can also use heat gun to hasten drying.) Clean off stamp before starting another thumping card. Thats it!! It should look kinda like a tie dye image!
