HOWTO MAKE YOUR OWN STAMP

 

Technique learned from our LSS, Clipper Street, Langley. I just simply used foam paper instead of styrofoam plate.

 Cut an image and trace onto the foam paper. You can

                                                 draw your own image too.

 Glue on a clear, plastic materials. I used the cover from a

                                                 salad box. Kitchen finds always works for me *winks*

 

      Apply paint or ink. I used paint.

 

       Stamp the image. And you just created your own stamp!

 

Note :I used paint too to stamp my journaling.
