Stamp cleaner, stamping chalks, markers, watercolour pencils, blender pen, glue stick or pen, double stick adhesive tape, mounting squares, glitter, punches, decorative ribbons.
5.      Stamping techniques.
a.      Two step stamping:  stamp the base image with lighter ink and overlay or adjoining image with darker ink
b.      Decorating with chalk: stamp image with a Versa mark ink pad or whisper craft stamping 
pad then apply chalk colour using sponge tip or cotton swab to fill in colour
c.      Decorating with markers: use different color markers to apply colour directly to the stamp, blow onto the ink image to remoisten the ink with your breath; before stamping onto paper
d.      Using water colour pencils: Stamp image onto paper. Outline a section of the stamped image with a water colour pencil, then use a damp brush or blend pen to move colour where desired. 
e.      Masking image: stamp image on cardstock, stamp it again on a piece of scratch paper.         Cut carefully around the scratch paper image cutting just inside the lines, this  will be the mask. Place the mask on top of the cardstock image and stamp the desired image over the mask. Remove the mask so the new image will  “disappear” behind the first one.
6.    Clean the stamps after each use, especially the changing colours. Use a stamp cleaner bottle with scrubber or roll on applicator top.  A cellulose sponge works best because it does not break down. The sponge may be dampened with plain water, or add 1 or 2 drops of dish soap to the water, then blot dry with paper towel. Alcohol-free baby wipes also work well for cleaning stamps. Never soak rubber stamps in water or use oil based solvent to clean the stamps.
