Kiss Stamping

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.
