[@1wildwackywoman]

I’m so glad I watched this video! Peel back the paper from the adhesive on two corners. Then using those tabs that are sticking out to position your design. Mind blown! I always have such a hard time getting my pieces even and straight.

[@inkyliciouscrafts]

Me too so it really helps.

I wish you dd your stamps in the USA. I love the ones you used on the blue card!

[@inkyliciouscrafts]

We ship to the USA.

[@robi92100]

What a great technique - does anyone in the US sell your stamps?

[@kittykat1234k]

This is absolutely a beautiful technique. I know you had done this a few years back but I was wondering what size card stock you used. You mentioned a 6 inch square card. Is that in inches? Thank you ❤

[@inkyliciouscrafts]

Yes 6" square, 6 inches

[@kittykat1234k]

@@inkyliciouscrafts Thank you so much

[@insanity6829]

Are these stamps a little bit Greyish and a heavy polymer?? Reason I ask is I ordered some stamps from Lavinia and they are awesome...might be normal in your country???

[@inkyliciouscrafts]

No they are super clear. In the UK we use a high grade photopolymer, we use the same polymer as Lavinia. Not all clear stamps are the same, some are made from acrylic or silicone (most Chinese made stamps) which does not give the same image reproduction as photopolymer.

[@Malmo117]

Will any dye ink work for this process?

[@inkyliciouscrafts]

Any except Distress should work

[@roxanneklinger3828]

Is there some kind of stamp that Momento ink should not be used on?

[@inkyliciouscrafts]

No, Memento is a water based ink so can be used on anything.. The only stamps you may ever have problems with are the silicone/acrylic stamps (which are made in China) silicone is what you seal baths and sinks with as it's made to repel water and liquids so if using any water based ink pad, Memento, Distress, Distress Oxide, Simon Hurley, etc will bead up on silicone/acrylic stamps. All our stamps are made from high grade Photopolymer.

[@roxanneklinger3828]
