"This next stamping technique is called rock and roll. It's a lot of fun. It doesn't have anything to do with doing the twist, but you'll need is a light colored stamp pad and a darker color stamp pad. I like to use a round or some kind of circular square stamp. They seem to work best for this. The first thing you're going to do is tap your whole stamp gently into the light colored stamp pad. Then you're going to take it and just roll the edges gently around in the dark colored stamp pad. Then when you stamp, you'll see that you have a beautiful design. It's darker on the outside with a lighter middle. It's very hard to do each one of these exactly the same, so it's like snowflakes. You'll have a lot of fun making them. You can cut these out, attach these with your circle punches to your cards. These can be name tags. You can use this in your scrap booking supplies and just have a lot of fun with this rock and roll technique. "
