Tuesday's Tip- Two Color Stamping!

Happy Tuesday to all my fabulous Ippity friends!!

This is Kelly here today and I had some queries this week about how I was able to stamp the sentiment you see below in two different colors.   You probably saw this card I made for last week's Hip Hop on my blog last Thursday so sorry for the repeat appearance. But it will serve the purpose in demonstrating the color process.  :-)

The sentiment I am using today is one of the fabulous sentiments from the new Ippity Spring Release set called Delightful Little Things.  There is certainly more than one way to get two or more colors of ink onto your sentiments and images.   (In fact Lisa H. uses her watercolor markers and the "huffing" technique,) but since I don't have any watercolor markers I use my Stamp-a-mjig and ink pads!

Here is a quick tip (actually a tutorial) on how I do it!

Gather your supplies.  My technique requires the stamp-a-majig and 

I like to use a Post-It-Note (you can use several for larger images!)

Start by stamping your image on the stamp-a-majig plastic piece.

{I thougth my card used brown and not black ink, so pretend I am using black!! LOL!)

Stamp the image onto the Post-It Note.

Carefully remove the words that you want to show up in your accent color.  

Try to cut it in such a way that your Post-It Note will remain intact.  Use tape if you have to.

Place your Post-It Note onto the surface you want to stamp.  

Carefully line up the stamp-a-majig over the image on the Post-It Note.  

 Using your accent color, stamp the image again over the Post-It Note.  

The color will only show up on your paper where the words have been removed.  

DO NOT remove the Post-It Note yet!

Apply temporary sticky to the back of the words you removed.  

Now replace them like puzzle pieces back into the holes on the Post-It Note.

Carefully remove the rest of the Post-It Note leaving only the words you just replaced.

Line your stamp-a-majig back up over the two words showing.  

And stamp your sentiment with the second color you want to use.

Remove your the remaining pieces of Post-It Note and Wala!!  You did it!!  :-)

Now all you have to do is have fun finishing your card!!
