Just back from an evening stroll checking a couple of our boxes.
We noticed that one of our hand carved stamps had been inked with 3 different colours, a different one for each different part of the stamp. We've noticed this on a couple of other stamps whilst out and about.
Just curious - what colour does everyone use for different parts of a stamp and is there a reason for this?
Up to now we've been boring and just used a plain old black ink!
I also use coloured artwork pens for the wording on a stamp. You can buy all the coloured pads and pens from a good craft shop or from a stall at the Meet.
Depends upon the mood I am in and if I have the time.
However, I detest those who use emulsion based inks on a stamp and don't clean the stamp afterwards, they leave the stamp in an awful mess...
I usually try to remember to take some cleaning stuff with me to clean up the stamp, but not always...
