The way my demo taught me is to take a sheet of cardstock (probably white, but you could use cream too) and pick three colors of ink. She drags the pad down the length of the paper, going all the way across and the flips the paper and does it the other direction. She then does it with the other two colors as well, staggering them a bit so that the edges are not right on top of each other. When you get a color combo that works together, it looks really nice. It doesn't work for all colors tho, I have tried many a combination that came out looking terrible. If anyone has a list of colors that go well together for this, I would be much obliged!
A couple of the color combos that I have used that look nice together is (in order of how I applied them)
Really Rust, Ruby Red, Old Olive (used on Christmas cards)
Going Gray, Old Olive, Not Quite Navy (these last two might have been switched, can't recall now - used it for a masculine birthday card)
Any other color combos anyone has would great!
