'ghost' stamping'Ghost' Stamping (aka happy experiment)
Here's how:
1. Rub a generous amount of distress ink onto your paper (choose something dark, like Walnut Stain)
2. Spray your stamp with stamp cleaner (it should be wet enough so it looks shiny, but not so wet that it 'drips')
3. Press stamp very firmly onto inked area and hold for about 10 sec
4. Ta-Dah!
