Tonight we're designing our own rubber-stamps! We'll learn several techniques including the blender pen transfer system! (pictured below) and the upcycled cork stamp.
You'll need:
One sheet of easy cut or an eraser.
A newspaper or photocopied word that you can transfer.
A Speedball Linoleum cutter, and an ink pad or watercolor paint.
1. Take your newspaper word and place it face down on the blank stamp block.
2. Rub across the back with the blender marker, revealing the transferred word.
3. Pushing the cutting tool away from you, cut out the negative space around the design.
4. Ink and stamp. Clean up any extra marks that you want to remove now.
Have fun creating your own stamps for... decorating a scrapbook, journal, and cards!
For the cork stamper you'll need:
A wine bottle cork, sharpie, and sharp blade tool.
1. Draw your design... Simple is best
2. Cut out the negative space, leaving the positive space image as your stamp.
3. Ink it and stamp it!
