#240 Technique Time at Just Us Girls!

Hello, friends and Happy Saturday!!  The Just Us Girls team is back with a Technique Challenge for you today!  It's a new one for me and I am so happy to have been given the push to try it! It won't be the last time I use 'kissing' with my stamps!  Yep, I said Kissing!  Check it out at Just Us Girls!

There is a brief tutorial on the Splitcoast Stampers site (in Tutorials), because it's such an easy thing to do!  You ink your stamp with a light color then put it on (kiss) a stamp that has been inked with a darker color. Then stamp it on your paper and you have a brand new image!
My flower image is from Simon Says Stamp.  I put Apricot Appeal ink (SU retired) on it and then pressed it to an SU background stamp (screen?) that had been inked in Pumpkin Pie.  The colors are a bit softer in real life-more peachy and orange. The die cut (in pomegranate) that is behind also comes in the set of dies from SSS.  My leaves are from Memory Box/Poppy Stamps.
My card is 4.5" square and I sure hope you like it!
We'd love to see what you come up with for this challenge so please pop on over to Just Us Girls for a link to the tutorial and much inspiration from the team to get you thinking!

Thanks for coming by today! I appreciate it so much! Have a great day!
Cheryl
