Having rubber stamps offers you so much possibility. I love to combine different stamps with a variety of techniques to achieve different looks. Today I am sharing how I use washi tape or painters tape to mask off areas on my stamp. This is an easy but effective way of achieving empty space on a stamp.

• Step 1

  Add a strip of painters tape or washi tape across a background stamp.



• Step 2

  Use two different colours of memento ink pads and ink the stamp using one colour above the tape and the second colour below the tape.



• Step 3

  Mist the stamp with water.



• Step 4

  Remove the tape from the stamp after misting it with water.



• Step 5

  Stamp the image onto white cardstock and leave to dry.



• Step 6

  Gather some wording stamps, or any other stamps that will fit into the open space created by the taped off area.



• Step 7

  Stamp the images in the open space using VersaFine ink.

Use the masked and stamped technique on cards or layouts as a fun accent.
