Lisa Johnson's back for this week's Make It Monday Video to teach you how to successfully pull of the "rock and roll" inking technique to add grandient color edges to all your stamped images. Best part? No special tools needed–you've got what you need already. Click play to find out more.

This is my favorite Make It Monday so far. The cut out edge adds just the right touch and the colors are wonderful. Thanks for a great Monday morning!
GORGEOUS!!Thank you so much LISA for the video love this card..got my ink and paper ready to make it too!
I have been wanting a MIM on this technique since the beginning. Thanks SO much.
Lisa, thank you so much for this project. I will use this technique often. I have never thought of trying this. Actually I have just started stamping this year and while i have lots of stamps (ones that came with scrapbooking kits) they are mostly unused.
This is a fun card. I can’t wait to try it myself! Thank you!
I love this idea, my favorite part is the edge leaf . Can’t wait to make a card! TFS
I’m getting my set of stamps out now and get this card made.
I love the stamping idea and the cut away leafs.
Thanks for the new Idea.
Have a great day.

I’ve not seen this technique b4 – thanks for the tips. A beautiful card x
I love this technique! And this card is so summery and colorful, reminds me of snow cones! Cutting the leaves to give dimension was a great idea…I need to try it!
beautiful card!!! i tried this technique w/ my falling leaves set. however i didn’t do it quite right, i have been hoping to see this technique done on mim. thanks.
You’re cards show so many more uses for these sets than I would have thought of.I’m sure to order them, as they’ll be just right for all the little guys as well as the big guys.
Thanks for helping us learn this technique! I always wondered how to get that light/darker edges look! And I love the color combos on this card! Very happy!
Thanks for a fabulous idea for this week’s Make It Monday! I never realised how much depth I could add by combining Aqua Mist with Hawaiian Shores! I’ll be doing this again for sure!
