I love the look of layered cardstock and papers on a project. It can really add visual interest and depth. However, sometimes, layered papers can also pose a unique stamping challenge. Does this ever happen to you? See my stamped “love” image, which has been stamped across several layers of papers. Occasionally, the layers will cause a “gap” in the stamped image, where it breaks across each layer in paper.
This one is an easy and quick fix and it’s one of the reasons I LOVE our exclusive inks, where the ink pads, markers, and reinkers coordinate so beautifully with each other and with our cardstocks. Here, I simply used a Chocolate marker to gently “bridge” the stamping gaps. It fills in where the Chocolate-stamped image left off—beautiful and easy!
I sure hope you’ve enjoyed this atypical Week of Wonder and learned some great stamping rescue techniques to turn your “WHAT!?!” into “WOW!” whenever you pick up a stamp. As seasoned stampers often say: there is no such thing as a stamping mistake, just an opportunity to embellish!
Thanks so much! I learned some great things this week.
