You’ll need:
- Recycled notebooks like these
- Pencil
- Speedball carving kit
- plastic/ wood to mount (optional)
- 3 paint or ink colours
How to:
- Draw the design onto the rubber and carve your stamp with your tools or scalpel. Both designs are very simple to create. For the semi-circles I created two separate stamps but it might be easier to carve the whole line.
- If you have anything sturdy and waterproof (wood/plastic) then back your stamp onto it but it’s not essential. I was lazy and didn’t bother.
- Now ink up your stamps. I tried to do all areas with the same colour first, which may mean you need to mark these out. The pink and white were acrylic paints and the black was from an ink pad, which I have to say works the best. When it came to the acrylic, I painted the colour onto the stamps and had a few practises on spare paper to gage the right coverage first.
- Stamp each stamp, pressing down firmly. Repeat over the whole design, washing well between colour changes.
