Hello Lovelies! It's been a while since I had a chance to create with Gina K's crafting goodies, but I was all smiles when I opened up the mail to see the Beach Frame stamps and Dies. I'm getting to know the Gina K inks so I couldn't resist a little multicolored stamping with them for this simple Beach Frame Photo Folio project! Let's get started with some tips for multicolored stamping.

Tips for Multicolored Stamping:

Ink Cubes Are Best - the compact size makes inking small areas easier but if you only have a full-size pad, just angle it towards the corners.
Stamp Colors In Overlapping Layers - work quickly to ink sections of the stamp with one color, stamp, then repeat with another color overlapping the previous color to create blends and gradients
Step It Up With Embossing - I missed an opportunity to add a glittery iridescent embossing powder that would have enhanced the frame even more.

I'm packing my beach bag now!
