I think it is time to get out my stamp carving supplies. I imagine I will need to restock my stamp pads if I want to use any of the stamps though.

Stamp carving - Round flower
Here is my latest effort in stamp carving. This time I was aiming for a stylized flower.
The stamp is fairly large, I didn't measure it so I can't tell you exactly how large. I created this stamp to use in a particular project I am working on but meanwhile I tried it out on a couple of cards.
4"x 5 1/2" cards
The stamp seemed too large to look right centered on the card so offset the image. I think it is more interesting that way and leaves a bit of room if I happen to want to write a message on the front of the card.
None of the stamps I have carved are mounted on blocks. That makes getting a clear, precise image difficult I think. That and the fact that some stamps, like this one, are larger than the stamp pads I own. I end up having to sort of dab the ink pad around on the stamp. Any stampers have suggestions?
At this rate I am going to have lots of cards for my Postal Project (mail something every week).
Love your hand carved stamp. Glad you showed it again. Have a nice day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI apologize, but I just now saw your request. I have linked you.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this stamp. I wish I could make something like that, but of course, I don't have the tools. Like you, I have several small stamp pads, most of which are nearly (or completely) dry. I have to keep going over my stamp until I hope I have covered the entire thing. I wish I could help more, but I'm really NOT much of a stamper.
Thanks for sharing this Second Look again on the 2nd.
What a fabulous second look! I recently bought some carving tools with a voucher I had and have made a few attempts, but nothing as lovely as this! Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteCool carved stamp. You did a great job with it. Your lines are so straight. Glad you shared this again! Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteVery cool-I could not carve a stamp-you did a beautiful job very creative! I admire artists that can do this-Hugs Kathy
ReplyDeleteReally pretty stamp. I hope you still use it. :)
ReplyDeleteI like the way you offset the design. I've used some stamps in the past, but nothing like this large flower. Nice!
ReplyDeleteI like your stamp, it suits all kinds of uses and I love the way you only use part of it.
