Stamping in Soot

You will need

Glossy Card Stock
Tea Light
Hairspray
Stamps



Hold the glossy card stock over flame and move about - be very careful that you don't set it alight!!!



This is what it will look like when done - be careful not to touch the soot - you'll end up with fingerprints on your work



Stamp in to the soot and then spray with hairspray or Acrylic Sealant to set - clean your stamps!!!

These are 2 atc's I made



Love the effect - now you try it!!!

How do you come up with these techniques, Hilda? I like the fact that you don't need any fancy equipment so will definitely be giving it a go!

Fab idea, love it!
Which ink is the best to use with this??

sam21ski said...

You don't use any ink, just stamp straight into the soot
