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.

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.
Quickly stamp the image onto white cardstock. Press firmly and evenly, without rocking the block. Lift straight up.
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.
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.
