I very much like to prepare stamps for myself.
I've already made a lots of stamps. Heart stamp and much patterned stamps.
These are recycled stamps using old play foam :-)
Now I made some rolling stamps. With different patterns :-)
Here you can watch the video tutorial.
After I finished I found a very interesting and nice mixed media art at Heather Kraafter's blog.
In the video tutorial she shows very clear how to do the shading. I decided I will give a try to myself for this challenge :-) I used my pretty new rolling stamp :-) And I used only circles in this project because I LOVE VERY MUCH CIRCLES !!!! Here it is :-) Of course Heather's art is much more beautiful, but I think this is not bad for first try :-) This could be a red-blue challenge as well.
This is a little bit like universe with stars and planets, isn't it?
Good luck!
