Learn how to add color and depth to stamped images with an easy two-step stamping technique. Sara Naumann shows you how.
Two-step stamping is a simple process and gives lots of creative possibilities!

You'll need two variations on a single image: A silhouette (or shadow) stamp, plus an outline. Many stamp sets are sold with this option, making it a snap to create a beautiful image for a card, gift tag or other papercraft.

Want a variation? Simply change the color of your ink, or try heat-embossing the outline on top of the stamped silhouette.

Step 1
Place the clear acrylic silhouette stamp onto the clear acrylic block. The stamp will cling to the block. Apply a light color of ink to the stamp. Here I'm using a soft pink.
Step 2
Quickly stamp the image onto white cardstock. Press firmly and evenly, without rocking the block. Lift straight up.
Step 3
Place the outline image onto the clear acrylic block. Ink with a contrasting ink color, then stamp on top of the stamped silhouette. Here I've used a chocolate brown.
Step 4
When you're done stamping, simply clean your stamp with a baby wipe or soap and water. Remove it from the block and place it back on the plastic liner sheet that it came on.
