You can have more than one color on a stamp; you can create multi-colored stamped images. With Stampin' Write Markers, it's easy peasy! Simply use the brush tip (Stampin' Write Markers are dual-tipped: one is a brush tip for coloring large areas and the other is a fine tip for writing or coloring in small spaces) to color your stamp, using different colors for different areas of the stamp. Once your stamp is covered in ink, simply huff on it to remoisten the ink (some areas may have dried while you were working on other areas) and stamp. Notice the stamped flowers below using the Love & Care stamp set (hostess) from the Summer Mini Catalog. The multi-colored flower images on this handmade card were created using this technique.
Tip: if you know you have colored an area you didn't mean to or colored "outside the lines," simply use a Blender Pen to remove the ink. Brush the Blender Pen onto the unwanted ink and clear the ink from the Blender Pen on scrap paper. Continue this process until there is no more ink in that area and the stamp is clear. Now it is ready for another ink color, or you may wish to leave that area uninked. In that case, it will not show up at all. This is really useful when you only wish to use a portion of a stamp.
