Hello everyone!!! Boy, do I have an AWESOME challenge for you today!!! I played around with this technique about a year ago and finally developed a tutorial to share. Today we are going to make some
Plaid Silhouettes!!
Do you have any solid stamps that you don't use because you can't get even ink coverage?? Well, today you don't have to worry about even coverage because we are going to create a little plaid!!
Deets:
1. Pick a lighter base color and ink up solid stamp.
2. Pick a medium and a darker color for the plaid lines.
3. Using the very edge of the ink pad, start from right to left at an angle and tap one of the ink pads the length of the stamp in 1/4 to 1/2 inch lengths.
4. Using the other color, start in the opposite direction to create crossed plaid lines...move down the stamp at 1/4 to 1/2 inch lengths using just the very edge of the ink pad.
5. Now stamp on cardstock.
6. Don't you just love this look!!!
Location: My very hot stamp room, in Phoenix! It's a dry heat.

Hmm, I know I have not too many solid stamps for that very reason, but I think I can envisage a plaid elephant - as soon as I get a load of wash sorted and on. Joan, this sounds like a lot of fun!

Joan, thanks for the challenge. It proved to be tougher than I thought it would be. Here's my 6th attempt. I'm gonna keep trying.

Joan, I'm lovin' your technique of creating plaids with ink pads! I like the "artsy" effect one gets....not so regimented. I thought it might be fun to create a bg using your technique. Thanks, again!
