Color Kissing Tutorial

Good morning sweet friends,

Jenny here today with a super fun tutorial using

some of my favorite Sweet 'n Sassy products!

Sometimes I like to add a pattern to

my solid image stamps.  Color kissing is

the perfect way to achieve that effect.

To start you need a solid image stamp.

Think balloons, butterflies, houses, flourishes,

pretty much any solid image will work.  I picked

a mini gift tag from the Mini Tags and Sentiments Set.

Next choose a patterned border or background stamp.

I like the fact that with a background stamp you

don't have to worry about kissing your stamp more

 than once to cover your solid image if it's large.

My choice was the Floral Pattern Background stamp.

 I also used a sentiment from the new Little One Set.

Enough said...let's get this started!

Stamp your solid image onto white 

card stock.  I found that this technique works

best by using a lighter shade of ink for your solid image.

Next ink up your background stamp or border

with a darker ink.

Then take your solid stamp that has been cleaned,

and stamp (kiss) it onto your inked up patterned background.

Now you are ready to stamp your "patterned" solid

stamp to your image.  Line up carefully.

Here is my result after die cutting

my tag with the Mini Tag Die Set.

Now my tag is ready for my card.

I adore the pop of pattern on my CAS card!

The Decorative Frame Stamp Set provided me

with the word "for" on my card.  I love to mix up

different fonts and text sizes.

The design of my card was inspired by

CAS(E) this Sketch!

To give you more ideas on how

you can use this technique and different 

color combos, I brought

out my You're a Star stamp set.

By the way....with school starting this

set is wonderful to use to create 

teacher cards, tags and gifts!

How fun are these stars now?

Great to have ready to use on a card,

gift tag, or punch holes on the tops

and string a banner.

I hope my tutorial inspired you
to try this technique.  I had so much
fun sharing it with you!

Hugs,

Jenny
