First, apply a dye-based ink to the image (clean after stamping).
Second, tap a chalk ink lightly around the edges of the image; on top of the already inked stamp.
Then press onto your paper.
This adds beautiful texture to your image, while softening the edges.
I only use this technique with inks that are very close in colour.
