Once you've got the hang of writing with your new alphabet and symbol stamps, you can make your designs stand out with the ImpressArt black antique enamel marker pen. Simply rub the pen over your stamped surface and leave for a few minutes before wiping off the excess with a paper towel. This leaves the acrylic ink inside the stamped symbols where

it will dry in place. Try using the pen to make different parts of your designs

stand out against more delicate textures and patterns you create.
