The next technique I'm going to show you is called two step stamping. Again, this isn't a country line dance. It's just another fun way to add dimension to your card. What you'll need is 2 color of stamp pads. I'm using a lighter green and then a darker green. You'll have 2 stamps and they're coordinate with each other. The first one that you're going to do that's the solid, I'm going to do in the lighter color green. I'm going to ink up the stamp and go ahead and give it a stamp. There we go. It's just a light flower. Now, what's going to give the dimension and the second part of the 2 step stamping is the outline flower. I want to dip this into the darker color ink and then here comes the tricky part. It's not hard, you just need a little bit of practice here. Remember again, no card is perfect. These are all homemade cards. You should be proud of each one you do. Take your ink pad. Go ahead and line it up, give it a push, and it's perfect. This gives your card dimension. A cute way to add that dimension is called 2 step stamping. I'll hope you give it a try.
