Technique We learned at Convention

Ok you girls know I don't do video's (would if I had a camera and knew how) but this technique is really a cool one we learned at Convention. When you have a stamp like this one that you'd like several colors on it. One way is to use your markers to color in each part. It's a great technique but if you have lots of cards you want to make it can really be time consuming. So SU show us how to create our own ink pad with our reinkers. Ok her's my attempt to tell you how..
I used a peice of felt. Stamped the image with black stazon on to the felt. Took a permanent marker and drew a line around where the wooden block would be. ( that is making your position for your stamp. then use your reinkers to place dots of ink over each part of your image that you stamped on the felt. It will look really ugly. Then line your stamp up with the marks you made on the felt for where your stamp should be, and you will get the multi colors you want for the stamps. It's so cool.. I hope I have explained it where you can understand it. If not attend one of my classes or other Stamping events soon and I'd love to show you in person.
