Phew! After all that, it's time for the Challenge details!  
We want to see how you lovely lot tackle a technique showcased in Craft Stamper magazine.
After all, that's the name of the challenge- Take a technique, and Make it your own!
Kim Dellow has a wonderful article in the November 2014 issue of the magazine, showcasing fabulous projects using the multicoloured stamping
 So, we would love to see your creations using 
 The multicoloured stamping technique!
This old school, much loved technique is simple but oh so effective! Just colour your stamp with more than one shade before stamping with it, and  the resulting image will be a multicoloured delight! Use ink pads, markers or even paint to colour the stamp, and then simply stamp away!

Along with some of the regular Craft Stamper DT, the Take It , Make It DT have created some fabulous art using this multicoloured stamping technique!
If you click on the artists name, it will take you to their blogs, where there may well be loads more pics of these gorgeous creations.
