Printmaking Techniques:#2 Rubber Stamp Carving ATC

I thought it would be fun to do some technique challenges! I've actually learned most printmaking techniques (except litho) so I'll be your host!

1 card for each of 3 partners (3 in total) Since its so easy to make an extra print once you've got everything set up I've made this for three partners.

This should be printed on heavyweight paper, in the standard 3.5x2.5 ATC size.

This is a "how to" challenge, so Rubber Stamp Carving only! You must make your own stamp.

You may use any ink you choose.

Please note on the back of the ATC what kind of rubber block you used so that we can compare results!

Rating of 4.9+, no unexplained 3s or 1s Providing links to your work is encouraged! I will be checking profiles before the swap begins.

Sorry, no pre-made rubber stamps please! You should carve the rubber stamp yourself. And no other printmaking techniques should be used. Though you may roll out a color for your background if you'd like.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

-- Update:

You should make it a cohesive ATC. If it's a stamp that looks good on it's own then that's fine. But you can also add a decorative background to make it look spiffier. The focus should be on the stamp though. :)

You should also be using a rubber stamp you cut yourself. Like speedball's speedy-cut, or Staedler's MasterCarve blocks. Or a rubber eraser, just make a note of what you used on the back of the card.
