Take a Tip Tuesday #1

I have tip to share with you today. Its something I have been doing since I've 

been using clear stamps. 

See the little "halo" at the bottom of this stamped image? 

Try as I might sometimes I get ink around the edge of the rubber image and forget to 

wipe it off before I stamp. That is what causes the "halo". 

Now see the cute flowered emery board next to the stamp image? 

That is my trick! 

I used the emery board to lightly sand away the stray ink. 

It just takes a few light strokes to remove the little boo boo. 

Here you can see that the "halo" has been removed without any damage to the 

cardstock. Click on the photos to see a larger view. 

Thanks for stopping by!
