Kiss
stamping is a basic technique that a lot of
haven't thought of trying or just haven't
had the right stamps to inspire us to try
it. You simply need bold stamps and background
stamps. Instead of simply using markers or
ink pads to ink an image, you use a background
stamp to apply your ink to the bold image.
You can also ink your bold image with an ink
pad and then use uninked background stamp
to remove ink, or a background stamp inked
with another color to apply a different color
of ink. |

 In
this case I started with an uninked bold
stamp of a slide mount and I'm applying
ink by randomly stamping onto the slide
stamp with a small script background stamp.
I reink the small stamp each time I stamp
onto the slide mount stamp. You can see
by the result below that I've got an image
that looks like a script background slide
mount. The great thing about this technique
is that with relatively few stamps you have
nearly a limitless number of options. The
stamps used here are from Leave
Memories Kissable Shapes sheet and Kiss
Off Cubes sheet. Believe it or not, by buying
these two sheets you have over 360 different
stamping combinations, if all you were going
to do is use the Kiss Off Cubes to stamp
onto the Kissable Shapes. You an get even
more combinations when you try removing
ink from an inked bold image (Kissable Shape)
by pressing an uninked background stamp
(Kiss Off Cube).
Blockheads
also has two sheets of stamps, designed
for the same use: Backgrounds and Borders
and Stencil Stamps.

In a second example I've
inked the leaf and stem on the pear stamp
using ColorBox Chalk Lime Pastel and inked
the plaid scrap stamp using the same ink.
I then stamped onto the body of the pear
using the plaid stamp to create the pattern.
Then I'm able to stamp an artistic, original
looking pear.
