Two-Step Stampin'® & Repetition

If you haven't visited the SU website, there are lots of techniques to learn and try out. This is one of the techniques that I haven't been to good at, I even removed it from my workshop pages because I didn't feel adequate enough to feature it. So, I thought I would post it here and maybe go and try a few myself.

Two-Step Stampin' & Repetition

Technique A: Two-Step Stampin'

1] Stamp the base image.

2] Position and stamp the overlay or adjoining image.

Technique B: Repetition (Stamping Off)

1] Ink a stamp.

2] Stamp the image.

3] Restamp the image one or more times without re-inking it. This technique is a great way to get several shades of color from a single ink pad.

QUICK TIP
Use lighter ink for the base image and darker ink for the overlying image.
