Stamp your design and let dry. Then you can use either, real watercolours or fluid chalks to colour wash the design in, felt tipped brush pens are also fine for this technique. If you use a watercolour paper with Stazon ink pad, it will look very aythenticly watercolour painted . Try botanical stamps with this technique, it will lok stunningly beautiful. Remember, Stazon ink does not run, so you can be as sloppy as you like with the colour!! Poppy. The whole point of using Stazon is, it is water proof when dry so it won't smude/merge with the real watercolours, w/c pencils or fluid chalks.
