The Little Experiment
Well folks this is quite an easy thing to do if a little time consuming.
It was suggested to me by Lynnda Worsnop of Oak House Studio.
Firstly I used Oak House Studio stamps to experiment with and would suggest that if you want to try any others try ones you won't be to upset to loose but it should be fine.
I used the Dog Rose Corner Stamp ( link below )
Cover the stamp in pva glue and leave to dry, not to thickly as it will take an age to dry out and be very thick when it eventually does ! Just thick enough that you can't see the stamp beneath.
When dry peel it off the stamp very carefully ( where there are areas of more depth you will find that it will not go see through ) leave to dry for about another hour and then trim the edges off the pva. It is quite delicate but take things carefully and all will be fine. I coloured the back of the pva leaving the smooth side for the upper most side.
I then stamped a sentiment onto a black piece of card and cut to size required. When inks are dry use pinflair to attatch to prepared card and mount onto a card base.
I hope you have fun with this technique and will try colouring the pva before use as I intend to do ..... nothing ventured, nothing gained as they say.
Thank You for Looking
Love Doreen
well done Doreen for having the courage to try this, it shows just how robust and versatile Oak House Studio stamps are L x
ReplyDeleteThank you Lynnda, your stamps are brilliant and that's for sure xx
Deleteamazing idea Doreen - and a beautiful result! Hugs rachel x
ReplyDeleteThank you Rachel, unfortunately the idea was not mine but Lynnda's and I think that came from everyone saying you must drop your stamps into water if using a glue pad for ease of cleaning. As I pointed out in a previous blog but this proves that it will actually peel away from the stamp with no damage to the stamp .... or at least that has been proven with Oak House Studio stamps. I would test others first maybe ones that are not to expensive to replace would be the best idea or ones you no longer have any use for.
DeleteWow, what a clever idea. I will try this technique x
ReplyDeleteLynnda is a very clever lady Elaine and all credit does go to her for the idea, I just carried it out. Thank you for leaving a comment and if you do try this please remember it does take an age to dry before you can carefully peel it away from the stamp xx
