Today is my day to post at The Craft's Meow, and I was so smitten with the Welcome To The Office stamp set, I couldn't help but make another card using some of these elements. This time I used the ink blots and coffee ring stamps.
Gigi thought it was very clever of me to use "sick" spots on a get well card.
I really didn't know how to respond to that comment, so I just smiled weakly and told her I was glad she liked it.
(I actually ended up making this card twice because I had two different inky accidents during the filming of my card. If you watch the video, you'll notice the card in the still photograph is a tiny bit different than the one I make in the video itself.)

You can get a very nice shadow or halo effect by stamping the same image with two or three ink colors. Use the lightest color of ink first and clean the stamp thoroughly before inking with the second color. It's best to use a stamp positioner so your second impression is going to be just a tiny bit off-set from the first. Repeat this step if you use a third color.

Thanks for stopping and have a blessed day!
