Clear and cling stamps are one of the most popular ways to add images and greetings to hand made cards. In order to achieve the best possible results the stamps should be peeled off the backing sheet and attached to an acrylic block, or stamping platform, ink can be applied from and ink pad and then the stamp is pressed onto the card or paper so that the inked image is transferred. Coloured stamping can be achieved two ways, by stamping the image with clear ink and applying a coloured embossing powder or stamping with a coloured ink pad. If using embossing powder it will need to be set with a heat gun.
