Incase you don't know, you cannot use water color pencils with gamsol. I've also heard that the Prisma colored pencils are really good for this because they have more wax in them, just a tip.

@ruledbylabs I totally forgot to mention that.. about not being able to use watercolor Pencils :P LOL ... Ohh I will definetly have to and check out the Prisma pencils...I know trina said they were pretty pricey but maybe I can use a coupon :)

You can buy all of these supplies at any art supply store. The "pencil" things are called tortillons or, many people call them "stumpies"! (Fun video!)

Amy, I did some more searching on the internet and comes to find out you can use baby oil and goo gone too...hope this helps people who are interested in this technique.

Thank you so much for this tutorial, Amy!!  I'm so excited...this means I will get so much more use out of my stamps!! Question: how long does it take for the gamisol to dry? You mentioned it was "oily".... ? Thanks, Heather :)

@Shonz14nw It's also called odorless Mineral Spirits, I believe it is a paint thinner.

Love this video. I so want to try this now. No one would know its not copics if you didn't tell them. What kind of ink did you stamp with so I will know what to get.!!

Thanks so much Amy. Now I will be be able to use my stamps I have from Greeting Farms because I will have a way to color them in.!!!

Love those stamps! Where are those from? Awesome coloring...I too find coloring very relaxing, ever since I was a kid....I like it all copics and prisma pencils,, lots more colors to use with pencils. Hobby Lobby has a cool pencil sharpener for prisma colored pencils...its not electric but really good..its by the registers. TFS
