Robot Love Stamp Art


The other day I was playing around with my robot stamps and I made this funny little picture.  It was a really simple idea: make a stencil, stamp like crazy, then remove the stencil to reveal the stamp-shape.

Here's how I made my heart stencil:


1.  Fold a piece of paper in half.
2.  Draw half of a heart on the paper.
3.  Cut along the line you've drawn.
4.  Unfold the paper and you'll have a perfectly symmetrical heart.

And here's how I used the stencil and my stamps to make the artwork:


1.  Tape the stencil to a piece of paper.
2.  Stamp away!  The more you stamp, the better.
3.  Remove the stencil, and you're all finished.

I hung my artwork on my wall and surrounded it with a washi tape frame.  I got the idea for the frame from this post on Design Sponge.


Happy stamping!

  2. I'll be doing this on a canvas with my family's last name and each of us gets a "letter" and a stamp that best describes us! :)
