Look - no ink!

Carolyn has set the most recent Crew Challenge over on CBC. It's one for the rubber stampers and she's asked us to make something with our stamps but no ink pad. Here's mine:



I've cheated just a tiny bit as I used Versamark for the sentiment and brushed it over with gold lustre but that's barely cheating really, is it?

I made the pear by rolling out a very thin sheet of paperclay and stamping into it. I found brushing a bit of talcum powder over the clay before stamping helped me get a nice clean 'lift' as I took the stamp off. Once the paperclay dried, I cut round the outline and then coloured it with metallic wax rubons.

Supplies: Delight Paperclay, pear stamp (unmounted, unknown maker - eBay purchase), sentiment stamp from MSE set, Cuttlebug D'vine swirls folder, metallic wax rubons, Versamark and gold lustre powder.

    Stamps and paperclay what a great idea. Versamark is for creating watermarks isn't it?. Then it couldn't possibly be classed as an ink.

    Your card is gorgeous! The black really compliments the color of the pear that you made.

    Oh this is lovely - the pear really glows on the black and white background.

    Great use for the paperclay - I did read that you could stamp into it, but I've not tried that technique yet
