Stamp Yourself Silly!

We're stamping ourselves silly at

LITTLE YELLOW BICYCLE

 Did you know that Little Yellow Bicycle carries a wide variety of clear stamps?

Love large scripted words or typewriter font?

Then these are a must-have for your stash :)

For the assignment I chose to focus on stamping onto one of the new

Naturals elements from LYB...burlap!

 

Whenever using new clear stamps I like to practice a few times before stamping onto the 
desired surface.  Another tip is that I do not wipe off the ink before reinking to stamp the final image.
I find that a little ink 'build-up' gives a darker and more filled-in look.  

For this card, I used black Staz-On ink to stamp both the paper and the burlap heart. Staz-On ink
 is perfect for mediums such as canvas, cork, metal, etc. because it doesn't bleed. 

 It may be necessary to stamp twice on the burlap, but the great thing about a clear stamp

 is that you can see where you're stamping!    

You can also take a marker (of the same color) and fill-in any uninked areas if desired...

often times it looks great with a little of the background showing through though.  

After stamping, I clean the stamp(s) with a cleaning solution.
