Wow – it’s been awhile since we have had a Tutorial Tuesday.  Today I am going to show a stamping technique that I used to get two colors on a stamped image.  I used the gift bag template from Scrap Orchard.
Since this template is pre-colored I needed to trace the template on an off white piece of cardstck for this project.

Copy Template on desired cardstock

I gathered my stamp set and inks.  I chose a light color and a very bright color.

Gather stamps & ink pads. Always stamp the light color first. Stamp image in light color first. Then with the brighter or darker color sponge around the edges of the stamp or the desired spot where you want color to pop. Next sponge along the edges of stamp with darker ink

 

Here you can see both inks on stamped image. HINT: clean the stamp between each time you stamp so that you don't get darker color on light color stamp pad!! Here is the stamped image before & after sponged

Here is what is looks like stamped randomly on bag template

 This technique works really well this flower and butterflies too!  So I hope to see you next Tuesday.
