The last project that we did at stamp club this week involved the Kissing technique. There are two basic ways to "kiss" your stamps to create a unique image. I have samples of both bird cards below. If you'd like to see another one, stop by my Facebook page! Become a fan and see exclusive content (like the Paisley bird) not available anywhere else.
The first bird is stamped as an almost complete bird, using Pacific Point ink. The girls at the club preferred this bird, simply because he was complete, and it was very easy to see his outline.
The second birdie was the reverse of the first bird. There is very little ink on the stamp, and it's more difficult to see his wing.
I like the effect on both birds, and LOVE the technique. I just lack a bunch of solid stamps right now to play with (although the big flower in my Stitched Exotics would probably look awesome as a kissed flower).
If you would like to learn how to create some gorgeous sun-kissed birds, give me a call at 905-655-9347 or drop me an e-mail at wendy@wendyslittleinklings to set something up.
Happy stamping!
Lovely, lovely card.
