Raintree Rubber Art Stamps
STAMPING EXAMPLES
Single stamped items can be very elegant.
The horse stamped once on a folded tan note, with 2 dark brown pencil lines - easy and elegant.
A mulit-colored inkpad gives interesting results with one stamping... available in many color combinations.
A Little more effort gives interest and variety
MULTIPLE IMAGES ... the foal stamped in a slightly darker blue on blue stock with the main image stamped in permanent black ink--- then color the main image with colored pencils or markers.
LAYERING PAPERS: The horses ( 1 stamp) were embossed with a navy 'diamond dust' for a slight bit of glitter. From there you can use many papers to produce the look you're after. Cut out with a deckle scissor, then layer with other card stocks, corrugated, mirror card, handmade papers-- whatever gives interesting texture and color.
DRESSAGE HORSES
This is a bit hard to see, but shows a variety of textures. Both the black and white cards were Embossed with gold powder, the black on velum, the white on glossy card stock.
The SAME stamp ( size and image) was stamped with permanent ink on a lightly sanded sheet of 'Shrinky Dinks' plastic, cut out and heated. The plastic shrinks and thickens- this piece would make a nice small pin, or use the smaller one to make buttons.
A smaller version of the Dressage Horse was stamped on inexpensive black paper with Copper colored Pigment Ink Pad. The paper makes a great wrapping paper for a gift for a special friend!
Stamping possibilities are endless. For LOTS of new ideas, check out the many books, magazines and websites ( type Rubber Stamp into any search engine- then stand back! You'll be amazed at the number and variety of websites devoted to this growing craft!)
