This stamp has a mixture of solid and line image and is a challenge for me. I tried my hand with Joan Ervin's Tap and Smash technique http://stampingwithapassion.blogspot...sh%20Technique and used three colors of ink and lightly misted before stamping on watercolor paper. Heat drying the image helps a little to keep the lines of the open image from running. I used a blender pen to add the 3 colors to the open images and adding color to the solid images. All the ink was still damp from blending the inks so I dusted well with clear ep and heated. Too bad you cannot see in the photo the wonderful definition the embossing added.
