Card making Die cutting How to Stamping Techniques Card Making
Learn how to mask with stamps and ink alongside designer Colette Smith. An easy technique, masking off part of the stamped image before ink blending will leave a white image once the mask is removed. This is a great way to ensure your stamped motifs stand out! Just be mindful that some inks blend better than others and react differently on the type of cardstock that you are using.
