You can create stamped effects on a clay tag without stamps. Necessity is the mother of all invention.
After a couple of raw tries, it was time to be a pro. With a 5 day paid holiday (grins) I thought it was the perfect time to hone this newly acquired skill. But hello! We have a roadblock here it seems. None of the hobby stores had stamps. None. And what they had, I’d rather not take it. But like I said, necessity is the mother of all invention. Who knew you can create a stamped effect without a stamp, with the help of tracing and carbon paper! And dude, this is not an inspired idea but an invented one.
This is what you can do:
Pick out your designs on a tracing paper
Place it on top of a carbon and paper
Position the carbon paper and tracing paper duo on your clay tag
Run the pencil on the tracing paper which will transfer the image on to your clay tag directly
There you go! Done. Give it a coat of clear varnish or linseed oil. Preferably linseed oil as its thinner and will not give it a glossy look.
Create and Enjoy- make more for less. Or lets just say: 3$ for all. Sounds good?
