Soot Stamping Tutorial

This is a neat little technique I learned from Beate Johns on SCS.

Items needed:
glossy cardstock
rubber brayer
ink
stamp, block
candle
acyrlic sealer


Step 1:
Ink up your brayer and roll color onto glossy cardstock until even.

Step 2:
Hold your cardstock over flame until covered with soot, being careful not to burn the edges. They catch fire easily!















Step 3:
Random stamp your desired image onto cardstock. I suggest cleaning stamp after every use to ensure clear images.


Step 4:
Spray acrylic sealer evenly over the entire piece of cardstock.


This is an example of the finished product. Enjoy!
