You then apply a background piece and lift the piece away from the stamp. I have tried this technique and found monochrome was very effective. I think there is an example which I posted about somewhere!<br />Best wishes<br />Ellie Ellie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-53132735300189119682014-06-12T18:22:46.749+01:002014-06-12T18:22:46.749+01:00Thanks, Mii.

The only vital thing you need is a sharp blade for cutting the slices - mine was a little blunter than I would like and it did distort the patterns occasionally.
