The challenge this month on the Hero Arts blog features the "kissing" technique. You need to use stamps with a solid surface so the design that you "kiss" will show through.
For this card, I inked up Dancing With Flowers with a shadow ink and then inked up the Raindrop Background with Frayed Burlap distress ink and kissed the two stamps together. The sentiment was made from two phrases that I cut apart to create a new one.
I was pleased with the kissing result and hope to try this again with different background stamps.
