Everything Papercraft - Omitting


Omitting is a stamping technique whereby some of the stamp is left un-inked so as to exclude it from the stamped design. It is similar in effect to masking, except that it occurs prior to any stamping being done. One method is to ink only the desired parts of the stamp with a water-based marker, which gives you a little more control over the colour placement. Another method is to lay tape over the section of the stamp you wish to omit, then add the ink, and remove the tape before stamping. This technique helps to make your stamp collection much more versatile, giving you more options for your images.
