Cindy's Stamping Studio : September Technique Class

I have a fun and easy technique to share with you, the Inked Block Technique. You only need 3 things to make this technique. Grab a Clear Block, Stampin' Up! Markers (Not Blends) and a Water Spritzer; you are ready to create a new look.

Here are a couple of photos so that you can see the technique in action. Taking your markers, scribble some ink onto the clear blocks, starting with the lightest color first. In this case it was Highland Heather, then Pacific Point and lastly Gorgeous Grape.

Next just spritz some water onto the block and using a Mouse Pad, stamp your block onto the paper. Be sure to let it dry completely before doing any stamping.
