Stamp Shading for a Highlight Effect—a Great Way to Get a New Look on Stamps
I am a huge fan of vintage art—well let’s be honest, vintage ANYTHING. :) I was really excited to use some engraving art to design this Vintage Blooms stamp and die set for Simon Says Stamp’s Moments in Time release, and of course I couldn’t wait to use it! For this project I used the stamps with a shading technique to get the two-toned effect on the images.
I also paired some other new products from Simon Says Stamp into this card, including the Giggle Thank You sentiment die, the I See You EZ Strips, and the A2 Frames dies.
