Water stamping technique (ghosting)

Hi everyone. Just stopped by to share these father's day cards with you all made with a simple stamping technique. I was inspired to try this technique when I saw Ali reeve from stamp's away demonstrate it on create and craft.
First of all take a piece of card cut to size for the main topper image, then take one distress ink ( l chose peeled paint for the 1st card and barn door for the 2nd card) with a piece of cut and dry, cover the card shading it in different area's to give it a two tone look. The next step is to soak a piece of kitchen towel with water, press the stamp into it until the surface of the stamp is wet, then stamp on to the inked card, lift off the card it will take off the ink and leave a stamped impression, take a piece of dry kitchen towel and dab it to get the excess water off. When dry over stamp the image with a black ink pad. To make the background repeat the same technique but don't bother distressing it all because the topper will cover the rest. To finish assemble your card and add a sentiment.
Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting!!
Love Sharon x:-)
