Stippled Blossoms Bud

Layering inks using 2-step stamp sets like Stippled Blossoms, makes lovely detailed images.

Use a Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to get perfect placement of the images. I make permanent imaging sheets out of thick acetate stamped with StazOn ink and keep them in the case with the stamp set.

The little leaf spray image makes a pretty background, too!
