Soot Stamping
by Beate Johns
This is a technique to bring out the inner kid in you. Playing with fire, who doesn't like that? LOL...Use your candle to make an incredible background.
Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Take your glossy piece of cardstock and hold it glossy side down over the candle. The flame has to touch the cardstock. Move cardstock around quickly.
WARNING: edges catch on fire easily.
-
Continue to move the cardstock over the flame until your cardstock is covered.
-
Step 2
Take a stamp and press it on to your soot-covered cardstock.
-
Lift stamp up to reveal your image. The stamp will take away the soot.
-
Step 3
Continue to stamp images if needed.
WARNING: Don't touch the front of your soot cardstock or it will show finger prints.
-
Step 4
Spray your image with acrylic sealer.
-
Step 5
Finish your card.

You can press your stamp directly on your soot. No Versamark needed.
