I guess it's actually two techniques & I'll start with the easier to explain: the usage of lots for black, black stamping and black matting it really makes colors pop big time! The other is a technique I recently saw on SCS I believe it was smash inking or something to that effect. You start with 2 sheets of shiny cs the same size, (I used cheap photo paper not suitable for pictures but perfect for stamping and inking) picking 3 or more colors of reinkers drop a few drops of each color on one sheet of cs then spray each side with a water bottle a few times and press uninked side onto inked side (working quickly) and press down all over. I suggest you work on some scraps and possibly wear gloves if staining bothers you, excess ink and water will seep out! Peel apart the two sheets take clean sheets of copy paper place on top of each piece of cs to absorb extra water and ink. Allow the cs to dry completely before stamping any images or they will bleed! The rest is up to you... BR-T
