Technique Thursday

I have showed a number of cards in the past few weeks where I have stamped on printed paper and cut it out. I think it is a fun way to use a stamp, and I often forget about it.

When I saw these monsters, I knew it would be a perfect technique for these guys.

If you are going to try this, you will need a very good pair of scissors. My favorite are cutter bees. My sweet friend, Jenny (in Minnesota) sent me a pair some years ago and I couldn't believe the difference a good pair of scissors makes.

I find cutting paper like this very relaxing, so I really enjoy this technique.

If you give it a try, I would love to see your creations!

I used:

Stamps: Make a Monster #120606-clear  #118742-wood, Grunge Rock #120555-clear, #117080-wood

Paper: Basic Black CS #121045, Whisper White CS #100730, Patterns Designer Series Paper Stack Brights #117155

Ink: Basic Black #101179

Other: 1/4" grosgrain ribbon black #109027, Dimentionals #104430
