White Shadow Stamping on Kraft

[mprasad]

I did some experimenting with offset stamping on kraft cardstock using white pigment ink and dye inks. It's a cool look. This was done with a geometrical stamp... I wonder if it will look good with other stamps (flowers? balloons?). More to try in the future!

Your card turned out great! When I tried this technique, it didn't turn out so well. I don't know what I did wrong, but I didn't get any dimension. Everything looked flat with a white border on one side. Thanks for sharing.

Maybe it was the white ink? Either the type, or possibly it didn't dry all the way...? Also, I know some stamps looked better than others with the technique. Don't give up!

It could be that the white ink wasn't dry. I didn't know that it had to be dry. Thanks! I'll give it another try.

Thank you!! I found quite a few - just be sure it has some solid areas. I like the geometric pattern but you could use flowers or other shapes, maybe even mix it up, such as with a flower outside and flower center in two different colors for each flower going across.
