Technique Thursday - Kissing

It's time for another edition of Technique Thursday, and I thought in honor of the upcoming Valentine's Day holiday I'd highlight "kissing" this week! This is a fun and easy technique.

Supplies you'll need:

• Solid Stamp
• Patterned Stamp
• Classic Stamp Pads

Step one:
Ink the solid stamp with the color of your choice, for this card I've used Cherry Cobbler.

Step two:
Do NOT ink up that patterned stamp. Lay the inked solid stamp facing up, and press the patterned stamp onto the solid stamp, making sure to stamp off the ink onto your grid paper after each time you apply it to the solid stamp. When you're done, your solid stamp will look something like this:

Step three:
Huff (breathe moist air) onto the inked stamp, as it may have begun to dry as you were adding your pattern.

Step four:
Stamp onto card stock, this is what they will look like:
Here are two samples using this technique:
