How to Create a Two Colour Stamped Effect with Andy Skinner’s Typology Stamp
Learn how to achieve stunning layered effects in your mixed media projects with this simple two colour stamping technique by mixed media artist Andy Skinner.
In this step-by-step video tutorial, Andy demonstrates how to combine two ink colours with his Cosmic Shimmer Typology Stamp to create rich depth and texture.
Using inks and isopropanol, you’ll discover a creative way to make your stamped designs stand out — perfect for card making, art journaling, and mixed media backgrounds.
You can experiment with any two ink colours for this technique — just make sure your top colour is solvent-based so it reacts correctly with the isopropanol. Watch the full video below to see the technique in action and get inspired to try it yourself.
