Today's creation...
closer...
These stunning images are created with millions of tiny dots....when stamping you may encounter larger dots at times. This doesn't detract from the image but if you prefer smaller dots...here are 4 Secrets to great images.
*Use ink pad that is not super inked (too much ink gets into the spaces & coalesces into larger dots)
*If your ink pad is heavily inked, use "stamp off" technique to remove a bit of the ink before stamping final image.
*When inking stamp--don't push stamp into ink pad--use the tap, tap, tap technique (not pound, pound, pound)--this loads stamp with sufficient ink but not overloading.
*When stamping image--use only moderate pressure--don't squish stamp onto cardstock--moderate pressure delivers just right amount of ink.
The background for this card is lightly textured with the Timeworn Type embossing folder & a lovely design from Inked Botanicals DSP to layer the stamped die cut images. The bit of gold shine is a sprig found in the Magical Meadow die set. Lastly it's "tied" all together with the Calypso braided twine (NOT carrying over --nab it now!).
Stop back next Tuesday to contnue our 6 Weeks of Christmas--Week 4!
