Let’s Try Something New! Kissing Technique

Kissing is a really fun technique. You put ink on one stamp, usually a solid stamp and press it into another with a pattern or vice versa. Or you can ink both for two-tone stamping! Read more about the technique here: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/kissing_technique/ Using this technique, create an ATC or a mini card or a card, your choice but be prepared to receive any of the three.

The main image must be rubber stamped; please stamp cleanly, missed areas or double lines are not acceptable. Please use at least 2 layers and 3 embellishments on the main area of your project. Use ALL quality items to make this project. If you prefer CAS (clean and simple) designs with only one layer, please send me an image of the card at least 3 days before the sign up deadline and I will decide if the card is acceptable. Please do not be offended, I am only trying to rule out a plain piece of CS with an uncoloured/undecorated/unembellished stamped image in the middle!

Stickers, AS ACCENTS, should be limited to high quality scrapbooking or card making stickers, not the kind meant for kids or teacher’s reward stickers.

Please do not use computer generated images or sentiments because I have been very disappointed by images printed in very poor quality lately. (If you print them well using very good quality paper and ink, your partner won’t know and can’t rate you badly for it can they?? Wink wink.

Please make a beautiful card or ATC you are proud of and would be thrilled to receive. Make sure your work is clean and precise. No glue should show and straight cuts need to be straight. Please check your partner’s profile for dislikes and avoid those. For instance, do not use a birthday sentiment on my card because I don’t celebrate birthdays (along with other holidays-list on profile). Other than that, this is sender’s choice.

Please have a 4.9+ rating to join and no 1's EVER or 3's in the last 6 months. I will accept explanations of course, PM me. Newbies are welcome with WELL FILLED out profiles and MUST PM me at least 3 days before the end of the swap to show good intentions. A newbie is someone with less than 5 completed and rated type 2 or 3 swaps. If you see a flaker has joined, don't worry, I will weed them out. If you are really worried, give me a heads up! I’ve only been a member since March 24 and been flaked on 5 times so I get it!

Enjoy! Rebecca
