Creative Exploration Challenge - Week #4 - Stamp Making

So this weeks challenge was to make your own stamps!  I changed this up a little bit - as the project was on wood and also they provided a template for the stamp that was really not my style.  What I decided to do is create my own pattern and also to place my stamp on a current mixed media project I am working on.  It turned out very cute.  This is something I have done in the past so I was not really learning any new techniques this week but was able to revisit a technique that is a great and budget friendly way to get a fun and unique stamp!

Using card stock - draw design of stamp

use blade to cute out area for stamping

Here it is! :-)

Place on surface - and paint!

Finished Product!  I added a few more stars to this art piece - I think  next week I will be creating a few more stamps for another piece I am working on!


Also this week!

I waited in line on Thursday to get tickets to see the Presidents visit to Ann Arbor today - I had to bail and could not stay to get my ticket it was taking WAY to long and I had to get my girl to a doctors appointment.  Even though I did not get a ticket it was a great way to spend my morning.  All the college kids - singing,  meeting new people in line and the fun electricity in the air!  Maybe next time :-)

And its Bloggy Friday!  I like to come to my favorite coffee shop on Fridays and catch up on  reading  blogs and updating mine! A great way to end the week!
