Have you ever seen a stamp or stamp set in our Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog and knew the minute you saw it, it was one you had to have? That is just how I felt about this stamp - Hello, Doily. I cannot believe how intricate and delicate the design is. This was stamped with Concord Crush Classic Ink on Whisper White Card Stock. It truly has the WOW factor.
Imagine all that you could do with this stamp ...
1. It could be the focal point on a card.
2. You could use it as a background stamp to make your own Designer Series Paper.
3. You could stamp it, then cut it out and use it as an overlay piece.
4. You could use some or all of it as an accent to another design element on your card or scrapbook page.
Can you think of any other ideas? I have seen this embossed with white embossing powder on a deep rich color of card stock. On that card the embossing looked like a hand crocheted doily. I can't wait to use it for some cards.
Some tips when using this stamp:
1. The stamp block is almost 6" square. I put the stamp on its back and used a brayer to ink it. This gives a much more even distribution of ink. Then I laid my card stock down on the stamp, put a protective sheet of paper over it and either use my hand or a clean brayer to go over the complete design. Lift straight up and off when you are finished.
2. To clean the stamp I misted it with Stampin' Mist and then used paper towels to clean up the ink and mist. Worked well and was easy to do with the stamp (wood side down) on the counter.
