Silouhette Stamps and Inks

This week we are featuring the "STAMP OF THE MONTH". This month it is a silouhette stamp from Magenta. The card done here has the stamp of the month stamped in black archival ink on white glossy paper. The inks used to do the background are Alcohol inks from Tim Holtz in Wild Plum and Stream. Remember to use black archival inks for your main image when using Alcohol inks!!!

A butterfly sticker added to a piece of clear acetate was added with the help of a glue dot.

What a simple yet effective way to use your silouhette stamps and alcohol inks. Just think of the color variations you can achieve!!


















The following cards use silouhette stamps as well with distress inks. The sample here uses Spiced Marmalade and Broken China applied with foam applicators.


















Here is another sample with about 4 different distress inks used to achieve sky and ground colors ...
















REMEMBER TO CHECK OUT STAMP ART'S GREAT SELECTION OF DISTRESS AND ALCOHOL INKS AND THEIR STAMP OF THE MONTH!!

Great cards and colors. I haven't done this technique in a while so think I will give it a go. Thanks for the inspiration.

Great cards! Just wondering if they were done on regular cs or glossy?
