You've heard me talking about STEve's ARTFIRe, right?! It's Amy's FREE workshop and she sends out video tutorials on how to do stuff. Anyway, one of the things she showed was how she carves a stamp.

But . . . I finally gave in and found this big old eraser (rubber for my UK friends :)) from back when I was trying to carve my own stamps. Yes, I've done it before but simple shapes like a flower and stuff.

The Girls and her friend Linda are available on Etsy.
To recap. I used a 2"x3" eraser and very sharp carving tools. I think sharpness is the key. And you can probably find the stuff Amy used to carve her stamp from in her video around where you live. Eraser was just my choice.

Well done, I think they are fantastic! Valerie
ReplyDeleteThese two are incredible! I've tried to carve stamps, so I know! You did good .... :o) hugs, Donna
ReplyDeleteHow fun coloring the stamp different every time. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteMy fav the blue and yellow. She came out really good, now you can experiment with lots of colors, nice.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant Natasha - she's adorable.
ReplyDeletewow how clever, love your beautiful handcarved stamp. Happy PPF and have a great weekend, Annette x
ReplyDeleteLovely creation ~ well done ~ she is wonderful! ~ thanks, namaste, Carol ~ Happy Weekend ^_^
ReplyDeletewow, I can't believe these are from stamps - especially given it is your first time. I genuinely would've thought you drew them directly onto the page. Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteVery funny, these seals are very beautiful any girl would have them.Saludos
ReplyDeleteWhat??? This is a hand-carved stamp? You have to be pulling our legs. Do I understand this correct that the only part of the rubber that you left to touch the paper was where the black lines are? If so, you are a genius and a real pro with the knife. This is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the previous comment...how did you get such awesome detail? This is just amazing to me. Well done! Happy PPF! :-)
ReplyDeletecute stamps!
ReplyDeleteLove these, Natasha!!

ReplyDeleteNatasha I love these. Darn cute and I think you did very well.
ReplyDeleteCarving stamps, yikes, I might have to see this video, I am game but I probably won't do as well as you did.
Love how these look.

These are super cute, Natasha. Well done. I like them and love the facial expression. :)
ReplyDeleteThey are adorable! Thanks for sharing them on PPF
ReplyDeleteGreat job with stamps, awesome details! Super cuties! Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteI am completely impressed with your stamp carving. If I tried that I'd probably be missing several fingertips right now. And bandages make it really hard to hold a paintbrush.
ReplyDeleteYou've got some awesome stamp carving skills!!! Your girls are lovely! I haven't tried carving and you've totally inspired me!!
ReplyDeleteTHESE ARE GREAT!!! What would we do with out Amy to keep pushing us to try new things :0)

Wow! You did a fabulous job of the carving! I also like the colour variations - you really see the differences it makes looking at your girls.

ReplyDeleteWow! So amazing for your first try for sure. She is just adorable in all versions. It looks like it would be hard to carve those details. One of these days I will have to give it a try. :)
