Produce the Best Results Possible When Stamping

The next technique I'm going to show you is called spot lighting with punches. This is a really fun technique. It adds depth to your card or you scrapbook page however you're using it. What I've chosen for this one is a large background stamp. As always, when I ink up a large background stamp, I lay it flat, ink it up, and you can see if you've missed a spot. That's why I like to lay it down like that. Then I'm going to go ahead and stamp it on my card. This time, I'm going to stamp just down pressing with my hand and I have a beautiful stamp. Now I'm going to do it again. The reason I'm going to do it again is because I'm going to need to cut out a spot that I can highlight. I've already eyed the part I want to highlight into this bird. This time, all I really need to stamp is the bird. I've stamped the bird and I'm going to take the smaller of my 2 punches because I want to layer it. First, I’m going to punch out the bird. This is just waste. Then I'm going to take the same color ink that I've used and that I'm using as the background on my card, get another stamp there of the next bigger size. I'm going to take my adhesive, attach it to the background of the blue again with my adhesive. All I have to do is line up this bird on my card and you have a beautiful highlighted bird. This is called spot lighting with punches. I'll hope you'll give it a try.
