October, 2014 - Smack Down Stamping Technique

Ever have one of THOSE days where you just wanted "Smack" someone?!!  LOL!!  Well that is just what we did at our monthly stamping technique class.  Smack Down Stamping is a very easy technique that everyone really enjoyed!


The trick to this technique is "Smack Down" in small areas, stamping off once onto scrap paper before you "Smack Down".  You can also use sponges to add color in and around your stamped images.


So let me show you what we did!


Card #1 - Hello Fall!

Ink:  Pumpkin Pie, Baked Brown Sugar, Crushed Curry, Hello Honey & Tangelo Twist
