How do I learn new stamping techniques?

Multiple layers of dye ink

Take a stamp and ink it up with a light shade of dye ink, and then stamp it onto your card. Reink the stamp with a slightly darker colour and restamp the image over the first one (trying to place it as nearly as possible over the first image - but it doesn't have to be exact). Repeat this process until you have layered 3-4 colours on top of each other. This can give a wonderful "antique" look to your stamped image.
