Technique of the Week: Rock & Roll

For this technique, you’ll need a solid or mostly solid image stamp.  I used the background single flower from Heartfelt Thanks.  You’ll also need two different colors of ink.  I used Cameo Coral and Ruby Red.

The first thing to do is stamp the image in the light color of ink first.  Make sure to ink up the entire stamp.

Next, you want to roll the edges of your stamp around in the darker color of ink.  The goal is to get darker ink around the edges, but not in the middle of the stamp.

Finally, stamp the image onto card stock.

Finish your card.

This is a fairly simple technique but it can create some great effects.  On this finished card, I used Cameo Coral as the card base, but mimicked the Rock & Roll effect by sponging Ruby Red ink around the edges of the card base.

I hope you enjoyed this Technique of the Week!
