Stamp Images

[StampedSue]

Which do you like better~

Solid images

or

Images you can fill in with color?

[Erin K]

Definately images I fill in for me.

I have a few solids that I like and use but mostly those are not for me.

[jeanstamping2]

I have both solid and open images. But I prefer the open images to the solid ones.

Cause I like to fill it.

[NYstamper]

I love to color, but it depends on my mood and the image. Some are better as a full image, others for coloring.

[ebethneu]

I rarely buy solid images unless it's something really unique or irresistable! I love to color!

[CharityHand]

definitely fill in over solid

[Tammys1977]

fill in images!

[LateBlossom]

Do I have to choose?;)

[LaLatty]

I like images I can fill in with color better

[flipflopstamper]

I really loved coloring since I was little, so definitely open images!

[mm9772]

I used to hate coloring before so I always got solid, bold images. BUT since I got my Copics I'm all about the coloring!!

[MaryAnnK]

I prefer open images so I can indulge my inner child and color.

My gallery shows my answer (but I have been trying to branch out), but I'm a solid type of gal. I tend to prefer the versatility that comes with a solid image that I can use a ton of different ways.

I love solids and only solids with a rare exception. Coloring takes too long, IMO. Stamp-n-go for me and I had no idea I was in the minority!

I like both but it basically depends on my mood.

[akstampmama]

Love the solids - how else could I use all my different colors of ink pads! Also with 4 kids its hard to find time to color things in.

[lindylou1220]

I'm equal opportunity - I like 'em both.

[CreativeCritter]

I used to use only solid stamps, but I've found that recently I have been reaching for line stamps more and more. Sometimes it's just fun to snuggle up on your sofa and color a monkey!http://www.paper-source.com/cgi-bin/...cm_id=3810.220

[diane617]

some of each, you need big bold to do techniques like batik and line images to color. Totally different looks for different cards.

[SophieLaFontaine]

Aw... you shoulda done a poll! I prefer open images! I love to colour!

[pjw2855]

I like both for different reasons. Solid images for watermarks and creating my own pattern paper. Open images for coloring in as the focal point of my project.

The solid images I purchase are small items like flowers and leaves. There are some large solid images I use all in one color that are best left alone for more drama.

Animals and some scene images certainly need to be colored in. I'm not a painter, but do like color pencils/chalks.

Line images - I love to color!!

I have some solid image stamps and I hardly ever use them

[greetingsbydebra]

I like them both.

[firequeen]

Equal opportunity here. I go through phases with using all solid then all lined; keeps me happy.

[punchaddict]

Mostly line. I have very few solid image stamps.

[StampedSue]

Thanks for your input, I am working on a new stamp set and I have been going back and forth if it should be solid or not:rolleyes:

[anng97]

In the beginning, I only purchased solid stamps because I was intimidated by coloring. I'm horrible at watercoloring. But now that I have more markers and have been working more with my Prisma pencils, I'm buying more open stamps.

[Stamping Teacher]

I love both, but almost always go with line art images! I like to color!

[Mrsjvb]

umm..Both. I an DYING to try out the Brayered Sky technique, but currently do not own any solid stamps suitable for that purpose( waiting for the retired list to come out so I can buy a few things) But I did this week come into possession of a stamp set that requires mucho coloring in, and I am in LOVE with it.

I love my solid flowers and stuff for embossing with a punch and I love being able to indulge my coloring book fetish as a 40 plus something year old using anything from markers to chalks and stuff in between.

[Imbeasmom]

I prefer the solid stamps. I never passed coloring 101 in preschool so the open stamps just scare me.

[SCEmily]

I don't really have a preference. I love solid stamps because they're so easy, but I also love to watercolor, so I love both .

Sounds like you should make two sets, either way.

[brightrachel1008]

i have a lot of solid images because when i'm shopping for stamps that's what my eye is naturally drawn to, i'm trying to branch out because i want to do more coloring!

[missyterry]

Like both.
Use them for different effects.
Do like to colour though!!! ;O) Especially when using different methods.
Like to 'kiss' solids.
