Hosted again by the talented Lisa Minkler of You Made Me Ink!, she asks us to create a card or project using the stamp "kissing" technique, but with a twist. You must include the letters X and O somewhere on your project! Lisa has included a nifty tutorial on the OCC blog.
Here is my design team project using the technique. The trees in the background have been KISSED! Please don't look at my crooked stitching - it was late!
I took THIS stamp and inked it in Hero Arts Cup O' Joe Mid-Tone Shadow Ink and kissed it to THIS stamp inked in Hero Arts Sand Shadow Ink. After a few seconds, I stamped the trees onto white cardstock. I was SO excited with the results for my very first time trying this technique!
Please drop by Our Creative Corner and join in on our challenge. I promise you'll have fun with this fabulous technique! Also, check out the awesome projects from the FAB design team - they are amazing!

I LOVE your beautifully kissed trees, Marcy! Your design is awesome with the label, fun ribbon and sweet button flower! Lovely neutral palette too! :)
Hello Marcy
I was surprised to hear that this is your first time to apply this technique to a card, with your Hero Arts connections I thought you would have experienced it by now... Mmmm obviously you must have been practising as this outcome is just perfect, and this is because you chose the perfect stamps, the trees and text, how well they work together. The design on your card is also pleasing to the eye, an almost monochromatic Palette; your butterfly adds just the right amount of colour not to distract from the understated tone you have created.
Great card.
Smiles:)

A+ on your first attempt, Marcy, these 2 stamps are perfect partners! Love how your card turned out!
OMG...I am doing a happy dance over here Marcy! :D Geez Louise, you couldn't have picked two better stamps to kiss with. I looove the results. That looks truly sensational and I'm so happy your first attempt turned out like you were a seasoned pro at this! Love the little X's and O's on your very classy and eye catching card. It's hands down gorgeous!!
hugs,
Lisa xx

Marcy, I think your choice in stamps to 'kiss' is ingenious! I LOVE it! And your 'label' for your sentiment is the perfect addition to this card. YOur card has a lot of warmth and creative discoveries. ANd the crooked stitching gives it an added personality! I think it's PERFECT!
I think you knocked this challenge out of the park. It's beautifully stunning, and just lovely!
hugs, sharon w.
