Rubber Stamping and Embossing

In this technique we will show you different ways of creating effects with rubber stamping and embossing. To create embossed images of different colours there are two options. The first option is to use a clear ink pad and add coloured embossing powder to form the raised image. The second option is to use a coloured ink and stick clear embossing powder to it. To demonstrate this, we will use the same rubber stamp to produce a gold embossed image and a black embossed image.

Create Your Own Layout with Clear Stamps

Clear stamps let you arrange different parts of the stamp on an acrylic block to create you own layouts. With a clear alphabet stamp you can create your own stamped wording and this technique shows you how.

Rubber Stamping with Clear Stamps

Clear Stamps add a whole new dimension to rubber stamping. Since you can see right through them while you're working, you can see exactly where your image is going to end up. This makes it possible to carefully and accurately place different parts of the scene on top of one another.
