How do you get the linen stamp to look that nice with another image? What color ink do you use for the linen, and do you stamp your image first or the background first.

It looks like it was stamped in Caramel on white and then stamped over with the main image....I find that works well....also using a dark ink for the main image helps to balance the over stamping.
I am trying to make a congrats on a new baby card using the bunny from a New little someone. I thought it would look cute with the linen background, but I stamped the bunny in going gray. I guess I will have to do the linen in going gray and the bunny in brown????
Oh wait...maybe use the linen in pink or blue?????

Ok that is really cute, but I have a suggestion, if you were to stamp the main image first, then mask it, then stamp linen the bunny would stay white and the linen would appear to be behind it! And if the Celebrate were in a darker color it would stand out more...but really I think the card is ADOREABLE!!! I have to get that set out soon and use it!!! You have inspired me!
(oh and I can see it now because I have admin powers in the gallery so don't worry if it is still pending and you have my comment! LOL)
Ok first off to mask it is super easy....
Stamp the bunny on either a postit note or a piece of copy paper. Then cut it out...this piece is your mask. Now stamp your image, the bunny, onto your CS and then place the piece of copy paper over top....if you have it use a bit of removeable adhesive to keep it inplace, if you don't have it make sure that when you stamp over it you don't move the stamp at all
OK so now you have the bunny overlaid with the mask, now stamp the linen and remove the copy paper...now your image will remain white while the rest of the piece of CS has Linen on it!
As for being a Moderator not all of us do the gallery so not all of us can see the pics before they are approved ;) So don't worry!
I went and looked in resources and found how to do the masking, and practiced on scrap paper. It LOOKED awesome, so I just ripped all the bunnies off that I did (I recently learned it makes more sense to do more then one at a time), and it looks soooooo great!
I can not thank you enough. I may become a good stamper after all!
