Painted Poppies-Kissing Technique

Sometimes it’s the simple things that add a lot of WOW to a project.

Like the Technique I’m showing you today.

It’s so easy to do, takes no additional supplies other than stamps and ink you already have, but really adds a lot of interest to your design.

Once you see how easy it is to do, you’ll be doing a lot of KISSING in your craft room!

TECHNIQUE – Kissing
1. Pick two stamps – one Background and one Detail – that work well together.
2. Pick two ink colors – one light, one darker - that complement each other.
3. Pick the color of cardstock for your KISS image (light colors work best).
4. Ink your Background image with the lighter ink; don’t “stamp” yet! (See Photo 1 – showing the stamped image just for your reference.)
5. Ink your Detail stamp with the darker ink. Place inked Detail stamp directly on top of your inked Background stamp. (See Photo 2.)
6. Check your Background stamp to ensure the Detail image transferred without smudges. (See Photo 3.) If not, clean your stamp and start again at Step 4.
7. Stamp your KISSED Background stamp onto your selected CS. (See Photo 3.)
For comparison, I show you the Background image before and after the KISSING step. (See Photo 4.) What a dramatic difference!
