Recently I created this card using the "thumping" technique. This is a technique that I had heard about for some time, but hadn't ever tried. I absolutely loved how simple it was!
I will certainly be using this technique again, especially with this stamp set, called "Seasonally Scattered".
If you'd like to recreate the stamped image on this card, you will need a Crumb Cake ink pad (or other light color), markers to "thump" with (I used Blackberry Bliss, Old Olive, Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, and Cherry Cobbler), and Very Vanilla cardstock to stamp the image on.
Once your stamp is inked, flip it over and uncap your first marker. Using the brush end, tap the marker in random areas over the stamp. Repeat the same process with each color.
When you are finished "thumping" each marker color, pick your stamp up, cup it in your hands and breathe your warm, moist air onto it to re-moisten the earliest colors. (This method of re-moistening ink is called "huffing"). Flip it over and stamp it onto the vanilla card stock.
Here is a close up of the stamped image. You can see the various colors in detail.
Have you ever made a card using the "thumping" method? If not, I hope you'll be willing to try it out!
