Thank You For Being Awesome!
Hi Bloggers! Happy Sunday to you! I’m thrilled to have Teri Anderson back as our guest designer, so will let her now take the stage!
Hi again, Simon friends! Teri here, and I’m excited to visit again!
Today, I wanted to share with you a really simple technique for using clear stamps. Rather than using just the front side of a stamp, stamp with the back side, too!
This technique is really fun with stamps of images (like flowers and leaves) that are mostly line art!
I created this artsy little card by stamping with the back side of the flower (from the Poppy Sentiments set from Technique Tuesday).
The stamping went down like this:
First, I flipped my stamp over. And then I applied red ink to flower portion of it. (By the way, I got a little overzealous with the inking on my card and got a little bit on the stem, but that’s OK. That extra ink just adds to the artsy look of the technique.)
Then I stamped on paper and got something like this.
I cleaned the stamp, flipped over (right side up) and stamped the flower with black ink.
I used the exact same stamping technique with this card here.
Only this time I used a leaf (from the I Give Thanks stamp set from Technique Tuesday) and an orange ink pad.
Thanks for having me today! And I hope you consider giving the technique a try!

That is such a cool technique. It kind of looks like the flower is dripping because of the stem part. Will totally be trying this.

I keep forgetting about this technique. Have to try it out on my next project. the hanging stem just added interest to the flower. there are often longer pieces of leaf. Great job.
Very pretty technique!
I love this technique it’s easy and you can make tons of cards in a row.
Super cool technique, and the artsy outcomes are lovely! Thanks for sharing!

Wow, I like that technique! I would never have thought of it, that’s why I like this blog, so many ideas. Will go look through my stash and see if I can do something like this.
Thanks
Great technique. Got to try it out myself.
Love the look….i really like the splash of color…looks bright….will try this technique this next week…Thanks!!!
In the past I’ve tried this technique and obsessed over lining everything up perfectly…but I think it actually looks a lot better when it’s a bit off. Thanks for the tip!
Great cards and a cool idea. I’m giving my line drawing stamps all a second look. Love Technique Tuesday stamps, too!
I love Teri’s creations. She manages to stretch her supplies, which is good news for all of us on limited budgets. Great idea here. I’m going to start looking at my stamps differently.
