Soot Stamping

I adore this dress stamp, and especially when I use it with soot stamping.  I stamp the image onto glossy paper with a versamark ink and then light a candle and hold the paper over it to produce the soot.  Once I am done, I wipe it off and the image shows through as you see above.  I used some gorgeous glitter paper in two different colors of pink and some black paper to highlight this gorgeous picture.  This is one of my favorite techniques.  Here is a close up of the dress.
