Finger-walking method

What is this? Julie HRR refers to this as showcased at convention.

Thanks,

Lay your inked background stamp rubber up on your table, place cardstock on top of it, then "walk" your fingers all over the cardstock/stamp, putting light pressure just in spots. This will make the stamped image appear lighter in some spots and darker in others -- a very nice, subtle effect!

HTH,

Neat, I'll have to try that.

Sounds like a great idea. At the moment I do NOT have enough strength to use a background stamp. Temporary (I hope) disk problem. My young stampin' friend who has lupus/arthritis will love this idea too. She is often in too much pain to work very hard.

Thanks Sharon!

Gee.....here I've been getting the effect & blaming it on just not using enough pressure. Nice to know my 'mistakes' aren't {:>))
