Stamping a clear image is an important part of stamping. Adding color to this image will really make it come alive and spring from the paper. This is particularly true when stamping that mainstay of many Halloween projects - the pumpkin.

Good coloring is not as easy as it sounds! Some stampers feel despondent when they start stamping and adding color as the end results don't always look like the image in magazines or on websites. It is important not to forget that the published examples we see are often prepared by professional stamping artists or experienced stampers. There are a few key techniques, however, that will help you add color to your pumpkins and really make them come alive!

The image on the next page breaks down into steps the process of adding color to a pumpkin rubber stamp to help you produce great results every time!
