rubber stamp Inkadinkado Clear

What is the Best way to use clear stamps?

So, I have the clear block and have the clear stamps by inkadinkado, its a bunch of butterfly stamps. And the ink I have is by Rubber Stampede and its a pack of twelve colors. I also have a few distressed stamps by Tim Holz as well. And whenever I try to stamp with the clear stamps with any of these inks it doesn't cover it completely, like only parts will stamp onto the paper. Why is this? Am I doing anything wrong? I am just stamping onto a basic card stock paper. What exactly do I need to do to get it to stamp good? Is there a different brand of ink I should get or does that even matter? Sorry for so many questions, I am a scrapbooker and wanted to incorporate stamps into my scrapbooking and might even try to do handmade cards, so any advice would be great. Thanks!

first you have to make sure your ink pads arent too dried out. if that is good then it is probably the pressure you are putting on the stamps. you have to apply even pressure all over the stamp to make sure the ink transfers from the pad to the stamp and then to the paper. i sometimes find it easier to set the stamp on the table (with the stamp side up) and then take the ink pad and press on the stamp with the ink pad. then you can see where your ink is on the stamp. and then to transfer it on the paper if it is a large stamp i will sometimes even stand on it to get even pressure all over. if its not any of these problems then the stamps are probly just really bad stamps that you shouldnt buy again. hope i helped and good luck!
