Deepest Sympathy

Recently, Heather Nichols (Design Team Member on the Papertrey Ink site) showed how you can get lovely color on Kraft cardstock.  Here are two examples showing my take on her idea . . .

Stamp the image first in white ink and heat dry.  Then overstamp with your chosen color(s).  Off-setting the second stamping just a smidge will produce a misty look along with a sliver of white alongside your images.  This will help to set them off against the dark-ish Kraft.

This is most effective when images having a lot of solid area are used . . .
