Rubber Stamp Tip

Personally I don't do much rubber stamping but when I read this in my pc crafters newsletter, I thought it was a tip worth sharing.


Top Tip:If you feel bored with the rubber stamps you’ve had for so long try this technique to make an old stamp seem new. Fill a solid stamp like a large thick letter or a frame with ink. Now take a pattern or background stamp and apply it to the inked stamp. This will remove the ink in the shape of the pattern or background. Do it as many times as the size of the stamp necessitates and wipe the ink from the 2nd stamp on a scrap paper in between steps. Now breathe on the first stamp to moisten the ink and stamp. You will get your letter or frame with the pattern of the 2nd stamp.
