You don't need an hombre ink pad to get great hombre results with a sentiment! Using a
MISTI, stamp the top portion of the sentiment using the lightest ink color, then wipe off the ink, and cover that portion of the stamp with a Post-It note. Reink with the next darkest color, stamp, wipe ink from stamp and reposition the Post-It note further down the stamp. Repeat using a darker ink and repositioning the Post-It note until you're finished! (If you use the MISTI and don't remove the stamp, you will have perfect placement of each layer of ink: no blurriness, no fuzzy edges, etc.
Thanks for stopping and have a blessed day!
