Just Playing


I wanted some foam stamps to paint and stamp onto fabric.  Zoe came up with a fab idea of making my own. I ran some sticky backed foam through the bigshot a couple of times using T!m's dies, mounted them onto pieces of wood and now I have myself a flourish, half a garland and a couple of flower foam stamps.


This is a piece of calico that I dyed using broken china distressed ink.  Although it looks creased I did iron it before I stamped onto it, but it's just how it's dried.  I used stream acrylic dabber and my new flourish stamp.

I first made some stamps this way with Spellbinders Team but have not really thought about it recently.

Love the ones you have done and they look fab on the calico.
