Rubber Stamps Plus Opacity

What does “rubber stamps plus opacity equals more depth” mean?  Stampin’ Up! manufactured a stamp known as a Distinktive* stamp. Ink the stamp and lay down on cardstock and you can see the different opacities.  The different opacities give the image more depth. In fact, the image appears like a photograph.

Look carefully at the above image and you can see how giving the stamp different opacities gives the feeling of a black and white photograph.  What is opacity?  Opacity is the degree to which the light and dark areas are reflective.

*Patent Pending

To start the process, a photograph is  taken of an image and  the image is then transferred to a rubber stamp.
