For crystal clear impressions, use the Finesse range of inkpads from Spectrum Noir to stamp your images. Then you can colour them with a kaleidoscope of beautifully blendable tones and shades using Spectrum Noir markers! For bold swipes of colour Classique Markers are ideal, if you fancy dipping a toe into watercolour effects why not try out Aqua Markers, and for some glitz and glamour – the Sparkle Pens are packed with shimmer!
The stamps included in each set can be combined and arranged in any way you choose! With this fresh and fun card, elements from the Terrarium Set have been layered behind the main image, giving a full and flourishing effect!
With sets designed to fit perfectly onto 4″ x 6″ and 5″ x 7″ card bases, it really couldn’t be easier to craft your own cards with the Aperture Stamp Collection, like this simple but oh-so romantic card made with the Floral Heart set!

And, because everything in the Aperture Stamp Collection has been sized to work together – why not mix and match designs and sentiments to create the perfect card for any recipient or occasion!
