This stamp, made by Third Coast Rubber Stamps is one of my favorites! I've used this precious puppy stamp to make cards for Valentines Day , Birthdays, 'Sorry I'm Late' Cards and 'Get Well cards.
The shading is done with what's commonly known as the 'Gamesol Technique'. Any low odor turpentine or solvent will work. I use 'Sans Odor' by Winsor& Newton, PrismaColor Pencils and Blending 'Stumps' to blend.
After stamping the image with a permanent ink such as Staz On by Tsukineko, I lay a fairly heavy layer of color next to the outline, or wherever I feel should be a bit deeper shading, then dip my stump into the solvent (being careful not to get it too wet) and pull the color away from the line. I find this works great with 110 pound cardstock as well as watercolor paper.
