{SS} January Monthly Technique Challenge

Good morning-
Every 15th of the month SweetStamps, encourages us to think outside the box and try different techniques.  This weeks challenge I LOVED and have in fact used before, but it's always nice to  revisit.  So this months challenge is:
KISSING TECHNIQUE
You can see a tutorial on this technique on the challenge page or HERE
I LOVE the way this technique gives this stamp a different look!!
I stamped "In Her Easter Bonnet Silhouette" in amaryllis first.  Then I stamped "Italian Writing" in French Roast.  I then took the silhouette image and placed it on top of the Italian Writing and then stamped on paper.  So pretty right?!?!
I used beautiful Crate Paper and Cheery Lynn Designs dies, for the flowers. 
I added micro beards around the center pearls for added interest!!  
I think I will be doing that again!!  Love it SOOO much!! :) 
Here is a close up on the stamped image. 
Don't forget we also have our weekly challenge still going on. 
You can get all the details HERE

  3. I don't even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was good. I don't know who you are but certainly you are going to a famous blogger if you aren't already Cheers!I must admit that this is one great insight. It surely gives a company the opportunity to get in on the ground floor and really take part in creating something special and tailored to their needs.
