Mainly though I stamp images and watercolour them to match my patterned papers. Recently though I've tried using the distress inks to watercolour - and they give a fab result! bx I love stamping - all kinds.

So basically, it is where you just ink a solid stamp and then kiss it with an un-inked pattern stamp. This removes ink in the shape of the pattern. Then you stamp the kissed solid stamp onto cardstock. And it's really nice to get more use from your stamps. I have this oval shaped solid stamp I like to use with the little flowers, I get these stamps to kiss and it comes out as a pretty little "surfboards!" Aloha!

Jennifer's layout is gorgeous as are your granddaughters. I think one of my favourite simple stamping ideas would have to be using stamps to make custom pattern paper, so quick and easy, especially with the new clear stamps.

For example stamping a text background, then adding other swirls and image stamps over the top. Sometimes I'll use different coloured inks , other times I'll do it all in black. I'm loving this blog, lots of great ideas. I’m enjoying layering different stamp images in, I guess, a form of collage.

Since so many of my simple faves have been mentioned already, I'll go with this one b/c I used it on one of my PINK cards- I use sticky tape to cover up parts of a woodmounted stamp design that I don't want to stamp (eg. just want one word of a sentiment), ink the stamp, carefully pull off the sticky tape and voila- only the bit you wanted will be inked and leave a stamped image.
