Inspirational post : stamp on acrylic without fear

Hello everyone !

It's Valerie here ! Today is the day I'm supposed to show you an inspirational post for the Feeling Sketchy blog, so I decided to show you some trick I use when I work with acrylic sheet or album.

Have you ever been afraid of using ink on it ? What if the stamped image is not crisp enough ? Be afraid no more ! Ink will simply go off with a baby wipe.
However, I recommend to use Stazon opaque ink to stamp a prefect image on acrylic, and this ink will need a little bit more to be wiped away.

So stamp your image on the acrylic material,

Apply the all-purpose stamp cleaner (the one you use to clean your rubber or acrylic stamps) on the stamped image.

Wiped it !
And stamp again ! Easy peasy ! Or you could just wipe away a portion of the stamp for a different effect.
Just don't be afraid to use ink on acrylic, it's so much fun ! Why not trying it for our current challenge ?

Have fun and see you soon...

Inspiration post : masking technique with stamp

Hello everyone !

Valerie here today for my inspiration post : I will show you how I reduced the size of the stamp on of my card from last month challenge :

I did reduce the size because this stamp (MME, Miss Caroline collection) did not fit the tag, so I used the masking technique to do so. See the difference :

First, ink the center of the stamp :

Use two pieces of paper for the masking :

Stamp your image with the papers masking the side :

Now you have your image without side...

Ink the left side of the stamp :

Use a piece a paper to mask the stamped image and stamp the left side, with the already stamped image as point of reference :

Tada ! You have an image with a left side !

Ink the right side :

And stamp as the other side but on the right side this time :

Tada again ! You have your stamp at a smaller size !

I hope this post gave you a lot of idea to resize your stamps !

See you soon...
