With the title of this post you can bet it'll get a lot of attention!!! My card today is going to be kissed with a twist. This is a new technique for me and it looks like it's going to be lots of fun!
Over at "Just Us Girls" their challenge is Kissing With A Twist. You don't actually kiss per say but you can if you want to, it'll add a little extra sumpin sumpin to your card making if ya know what I mean. If you're unfamiliar with the kissing technique, it's really quite simple. You take a larger stamp that has a fairly solid pattern to it, ink it up with a light coloured ink. You then take a second stamp, try to choose a smaller stamp this time, ink it up with a darker coloured ink. Now here is where the kissing technique begins, you stamp the smaller of the two stamps all over the larger stamp
(re-inking each time) which is called kissing. To achieve the Kissing With A Twist, follow the above technique only this time, stamp the smaller stamp to the larger stamp and before lifting the stamp - twist it. Once you have kissed with a twist all over you larger stamp, stamp your image onto a piece of cardstock and begin to create a beautiful card which has been Kissed With A Twist.
The fun is endless!
My larger stamp didn't really have much of a solid pattern to it unfortunately
(part of the learning process) so the technique isn't quite as noticeable here. I'm going to dig thru my stash today to see if I can't come up with another stamp that will show off Kissing With A Twist a little better. This is one of those technique's that's so cool and if you haven't tried it before... you should give it a go.
Card 5" X 6 1/2"
Paper - Blue Brocade and White cardstock
Ink - Blue Brocade and VersMagic Perfect Plumeria
Stamps - Hero Arts flourish, Butterfly Clear Cling and Lili of the Valley Circular Sentiment
Accessories - 2" scalloped circle punch, 1 3/4" scalloped circle punch, blue ribbon, Square gem embellishments, sponge dauber and dimensionals
So glad you visited me today and perhaps even learned a new technique.
If you have used this technique before, leave me a comment with the link to your project, I'd love to see it.
Have a creative day!
