Distinktive stamps have all the depth built into the image. There are a few techniques and tips and tricks for getting the best images from them. In today’s live I’ve pulled a favorite stamp from by BOGO of retired products to demonstrate one technique for working with distinktive stamps.
Not Too Much Ink
Distinktive stamps work best with ink pads that aren’t super inky. You can push ink to the sides of your pad with a spoon or bone folder if you get a muddy image when stamped.
Have You Tried Blending the Image?
The photos I’ve shared have only one difference. I used a water painter to blend the stamped artichokes for one of the cards. I love the soft look this technique added to the distinktive image. Do you have a preference? If you missed the live broadcast you can catch the replay and learn how to blend the image and compare the two techniques.
I Extended the BOGO Sale
If you are interested in shopping from my retired products, the BOGO sale has been extended. You can check it out here.
The BOGO concept can be tricky and there are many ways to hold a BOGO. For my sale I’ve listed all my retired products on my Retired Products shopping page. You add the ones you want to purchase to your basket and check out. You need to select the Invoice Gateway payment option. These products are FREE when you purchase an equal amount of current merchandise through me. If you have any questions after visiting the page, just reach out. I’ll be glad to help.
