Hello! I am glad that other crafters are chiming in how hard it is to get your mojo going during turbulent times. I have felt like that for a good week now. I decided to keep pushing through my half done projects to make complete cards. I am hoping to get moving and just send out cards to all my family since no one is going to be visiting in the near future.
So this stamped image was done with stamp kissing. For quite a while, I have done stamp kissing, not with stamps, but with a piece of textured cardstock. This technique is really wonderful because you can do the stamp kissing on any size stamp. (ETA: If you don’t know what basic stamp kissing is, visit this tutorial on Split Coast Stampers.)
The background was made previously with brushos and a stencil. I left the sentiment off for now.
Supplies: I Brake for Stamps Fennel Silhouette Negative (or available in a set called Mostly Florals), Hero Arts Cornflower ink, Recollections stencil, Brusho Powder Colbalt blue.
Thank you for visiting! Keep on stamping!

Wow Heidi! I just love the blue monochrome color of this design! What a fabulous idea to use left over unfinished projects to finish up to send cards! I think we could all use a smile right about now! Love the texture in your image with the kissing technique! Happy crafting!

Wonderful card, Heidi - the colors are just a beautiful contrast. I do love this techinique - it's a tried and true one that still makes a card POP! So sweet of you to send out cards - we've plenty of time to check our mailboxes now!

That is so beautiful. I love the blue colors. And great design with the stamp kissing.
Heidi, this is a very beautiful card. I'm in awe of your background. The blue is nice too.
This looks great! What a great idea to use textured card stock to do the kissing on your stamp. And your background is awesome!
Lovely, but I don't know what stamp kissing is.
so pretty in the blues, I love the background it reminds me of tilework, and like the texture on the background stamping!
Great technique and wow to that fabulous background. A beauty of a card, so artsy too x.
I never thought about kiss-stamping with fabric before. I have a burlap testure background stamp though and would be tempted to kiss with that, lol. It looks very neat, Heidi. Beautiful card, too. XOX
