Tape Lift Stamping Technique

Supplies needed: 2 inch wide masking tape and clear tape, a rubber stamp, card, a permanent black ink (I used stazon)



Ink up your stamp. You need to use a stamp whose image is no wider than your tape. Also be aware not to use a stamp with any bold words or writing as the image will be reversed.

Take a piece of either type of tape and tear a piece off to cover your image. Place the tape over the top of your inked rubber stamp and gently press down on the tape to transfer the ink from the stamp to the tape



Peel the tape off your rubber stamp and tape it to your piece of card. The image has now been transferred from your inked stamp to your card



This transfer was created using the masking tape



This transfer was created using the clear tape



There are various things you can do with the tape lift stamped image. Here I have used masking tape and stuck it directly to an acrylic background that I created earlier. Even though the masking tape has a cream tinge to it, you can still see the background through the tape

You can also use alcohol inks over the clear tape image or you could sponge on dye inks over the masking tape image

Have a play and have fun
