Since I have recently have trouble coloring images, I decided to try layering stamps for flowers. I bought Altenew Pretty Pansies. I also bought several sets of Altenew ink cubes. My first problem was opening the ink cubes. With numb fingers from carpal tunnel, the lids wouldn't come off. I finally used a knife blade to insert between lid and body of the container to open them.
The ink worked well and the stamps were easy to align with my Mini Misty. I used Masking Magic to stamp the leaf behind he flower. This left an unstamped area between the flower and leaf.
To correct this, I used a blending stump to pick up some ink from the cube and filled in the white area.
I will work with more of the flower layering stamps, but would prefer to find some easier to use ink pads. One other problem I had was I lost the tiny stamp for the middle of flower. It's clear plastic and too tiny for my old fingers and eyes.
