Default Kitchen Sink Stamps?

Have you used these? Do you like them? Are they harder to master than they look? I am not all that great with Copics and it looks like I can get that same "depth" to my images with these sets. Pros? Cons? Please share your experiences Thanks!!!

Love them. I have quite a few sets that I use regularly. And some not so much. Also the base stamp is a solid so any time you want to do a solid silhouette type image that works as well.

I think their graduation set is the best one out there (I'm really picky about mortar boards looking like mortar boards).

I had intended to use a set on one of my new home cards but the proportions were off for the rest of the card.

The rose panel on this card is Kitchen Sink Stamps - stamped each layer with the same Memento Ink to get a "soft" look.

I have several and I do love them. I was blessed to go to a class they offered in Georgia. It was fun to meet Maria and her design team.

Since they are clear it isn't hard to line them up and get the depth. Of course practice makes perfect, so the more you use them the better the results, but really it's just a matter of one on top of the other.

I have several sets too and love the fact that they make such a classy looking card.

I haven't used Kitchen Sink (they're not available in the UK) but my one tip for two-step or multi-step stamping is to get your head directly over your stamps as you work. If you can stand up to stamp and put your head forward so it's directly above the image you're stamping that's great. If you can't stand, then tuck your tray or working surface as close in to your body as you can so your head is above what you're doing. It makes it much, much easier to line things up accurately if you're looking straight down on them, not at an angle.

HTH!
