Use waterbased markers to add multiple colors to an image.

Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   With stamp rubber side up, color the image with a marker.

   

2. Step 2

   Continue to color with the marker until everything in this color has been covered.
   
   It's helpful to start with the lightest color first.

   

3. Step 3

   Continue to color your image with other colored markers until the entire image is colored.

   

4. Step 4

   Spray the image with water mist bottle.
   The more you spray, the more the ink will run when you stamp.
   
   Hint: Hold the stamp in one hand and the misting bottle in the other, with hands about 12" apart. Spray a couple of times.
   
   You can also spray water into the air first, then move your image through to make sure the stamp doesn't get too wet.
