KS Monday -- Jun 08 2009



Happy Monday and Kitchen Sink Monday everyone!!
My card is a little example to show that you don't have to use many inks to play with KS Stamps ;) I used 3 Step Butterflies for the images and Vintage Words for the all words.
If you don't have many ink colors to make cards or projects, stamping off technique is a great way to use, plus you can always achieve the monochromatic color creations :)
For this card, I used only 2 inks - baja breeze and pacific point!! (well, if you count the distressed panel with whisper white ink....I used 3 inks, lol)
Both butterflies on the background and main panel, I stamped off the ink once then stamped for the 1st step & 2nd step. 3rd step was just stamped without stamping off. The images are less precise but I like the dreamy look that was achieved.

    Makiさん、わかりました、スタンプオフテクニック！ありがとうございます。
    ぜひ試してみたい…ところですが、そのためには２～３ステップ用のスタンプを作る必要がありますね。手彫りのスタンプは、クリアスタンプにできないところが難点です。ゴム版でなく、消しゴムだとなんとか重ね押しも可能なんですが、きっちり位置合わせをするのは難しいです。あぁぁ、でも試してみたい！
