Ink it Stamp it | Kissing Technique

How quickly time flies, can you believe it is Ink it! Stamp it! Technique time again? This month each of the team is sharing a technique with you, I must admit, I love trying new techniques, they can be invaluable to your crafting, and are a great way to stretch your creativity too.

I've decided to share the Kissing Technique with you today, it's a super simple technique that works especially well with a stamp with a large solid area.

In short, you ink up one stamp, then press it onto a second stamp, resulting in a stamped image featuring the pattern of your first stamp. Here's a step by step picture tutorial to guide you through the process:

Step 1

Ink your "solid image", in this example I'm using the Thank You sentiment from Accented Blooms

Step 2

Press the "solid image" onto your patterned image, I'm using the Hardwood background stamp

You can see below how the ink from the "solid image" has transferred off and onto the Hardwood stamp.

Step 3

Stamp you "solid image" onto your card stock

There you have it, you've Kissed!
