Get More out of your Stamps ....handmade embellishments

Clay and stamps ....handmade embellishments 

Hi Friends

just a quick idea to get more out of your stamps.......this is air dry clay, roll out thin sheets, you can cut them into different shapes and punch tiny holes on one or both sides for ribbons or twine to pass before the clay is dry.....stamp with any stamps you may have......I had this clay in black but both black and white work.....color with metallic waxes , they will work best on black. For white clay, spray with inks and highlight textures with gesso or waxes....

You can use Alphabet stamps or sentiment stamps and use some texture stamps randomly to create some unique labels , hangings etc....or create focal elements on your mixed media creations ......
