Techniques
Fading Out

This technique is used when wanting to make motion or depth.

Supplies:
Stamps
Inks
Cardstock

Instructions:
   In the case of a forest, you would stamp the image closest to you first and work your way back, using 2nd generation, 3rd generation, etc.
   In the case of flight, stamp the first generation image where you want the item to be going. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th generations will be where the image has come from. So for a butterfly, the image is stamped at the top of the card with the first generation of ink. Without re-inking, stamp 1/4" below. This is the 2nd generation. Move 1/4" down and stamp again (3rd generation), followed by the 4th generation of ink, creating the illusion of movement.
