Do you sometimes wish you could jazz up your cards a bit? Here's a checklist for you to go by to take your stamping to the next level.
* Layer your cardstock and/or add Designer Paper
* Alter your edges (tearing, sponging, piercing, stippling)
* Stamp a background with ink or Versamark using an individual image, wheel or large background stamp
* Use punches for large layered shapes, tags, words, corners, borders
* Color your images (markers, Blender Pens, Stampin' Pastels)
* Sponge a mask under/over your image
* Cut out your image for layering or 3-D affect
* Mask your images
* Use markers, paper piercer or white pen to add borders & highlights (3-D effect, stitching, dots & squiggles, doodles, etc.)
* Add embellishments (glitter, brads, buttons, ribbon, hemp, etc.)
Give these a try and see what happens!
