I've attached the registration form which has a little bit more information - you can fill it out and get it and your money to ME or you can mail it right to the address specified on the form. And please do let me know if you have questions!!

Tips and Techniques
Stamping with markers

Step 1 - Using the brush end of your Exclusive Inks markers, colour directly onto the desired areas of the stamp.
Step 2 - Hold the stamp and spray with a very fine mist gently onto the coloured areas to remoisten the ink and revive the colour. Stamp immediately onto cardstock.
Step 3 - Colour your image with the blending pen by lifting a small amount of ink from the brush end of your markers.
