Many rubber stamps feature an outline of an image that can then be colored. These range from small and simple designs through to stamps that feature well known images, such as this Cicely Mary Barker Flower Fairy stamp. Outline stamps such as these present plenty of opportunity for coloring. One of the joys of rubber stamping for many stampers is the coloring aspect. Even complete beginners can produce great looking results using simple coloring techniques.
Coloring supplies are readily available, with pens, pencils and paints offering a wide range of coloring choices. While it can be argued with many coloring supplies that you get what you pay for, there is no need for a complete beginner to invest lots of money in expensive paints, marker pens or pencils. Cheap paint sets are ideal for your first projects and only when you are sure that this is the hobby for you need you invest in more expensive and better quality supplies.
