Top Tip Tuesday

Hi everyone! This week at Top Tip Tuesday we're having a

'Use 2 or more stamps on your creation' challenge

and it's my turn to prepare tutorial!

Pop over, have a look and join!

Our great sponsors for this week are

& 

Limited Runs  

&

Pizzazz Aplenty

I've prepared tutorial on Kissing Technique. You'll need 2 ink pads, 2 stamps and a piece of card. I've used Brilliance Galaxy Gold ink with my background stamp and Brilliance Tiramisu ink with the smaller one.


How to...


Ink the background stamp with Galaxy Gold Ink

then Ink the smaller stamp with the Tiramisu Ink

 Stamp the smaller stamp (in this case butterfly) at random onto the inked background stamp

Either press the background stamp onto your piece of card or use brayer like in the photo 

and here's the result... you have now a reversed butterfly image stamped with the pattern of your background stamp

in this case I've used a dragon fly instead a butterfly 

 here's a finished project where I used kissing technique on a gift tag.
