Part 1: Black & White 3D Stamping

While browsing through Pinterest the other day, I came upon a beautiful hand drawn image. It inspired me to create a similar creation with my collection of Club Scrap® unmounted rubber stamps. I was amazed by the three-dimensional effect of this masking technique! The finished 3D panels can be mounted on a card or used as embellishment on a scrapbook page.


Follow these steps to create a Black & White 3D stamped image.

1. Choose stamps with simple shapes that can be easily cut for a masking technique.


2. Stamp a foreground image onto plain white paper with CS® Hybrid India Black Ink.


3. Stamp the same image onto the sticky edge of a Post-It note with CS® Hybrid India Black ink.


4. Cut the image from the Post-It note to create a mask.


5. Mask the corresponding image with the Post-It. This image will appear to be "on top" of the images stamped next. See?


6. Create additional masks for every layer stamped onto the panel. When stamping, be sure that a portion of the stamp lands on the mask.


7. Create a shadow around the outside edges of the stamped images with a black Gelato and water brush. Check out my innovative paint palette!

Scribble a small amount of black Gelato onto an acrylic block to use as a paint palette.

It's hard to believe that all of the above images are stamped onto just one piece of paper!

Be sure to check out Part Two: Full Color 3D Stamping. I'll feature the gorgeous Hydrangeas stamps from April.

Until then, I hope you have a great weekend.

  6. LOVE LOVE LOVE! Those are beautiful. I definitely want to try this technique! A great way to use multiple images from one stamp set, or mix-n-match from a few sets. The clustering of the images is really neat.
