Rubber stamping onto any surface can feel a bit intimidating, but rest assured as this is not the case with this technique. If you don’t like the image that you rubber stamped onto the wet Crystal Clay, wipe the ink away with a wet wipe and try again! This tip allows for the beginner to advanced creator to get the images just right.
Once you have rubber stamped your image onto the Crystal Clay, apply clear Nunn Design 2-Part Resin or a colorized resin to give your pendant a faux porcelain look.

Take a look-see at just how easy it is to create this faux porcelain look with rubber stamps. I’m regretting not showing that you can wipe the image off the clay, but it is a tip to hold on to!

Love having another use for all of my rubber stamps. I watched both videos. I don’t recall you saying which white ink you used for stamping onto the black crystal clay. Did you use white StazOn or did you use a pigment ink. It seems a bit smudged or blurred link you used pigment ink.
Also, what other inks will work besides StazOn? I’m assuming waterbased inks won’t work, but what about alcohol ink or other solution dye inks? Eg. Ancient Page, Archival, Adirondack, etc? Please advise. Thanks for sharing!
I did use a cream StazOn ink. It can “bleed” if there is too much ink on the stamp or if you press down to hard. I personally don’t have a lot of experience with using alcohol inks or other solution dye inks. I do know that you can use them on the Crystal Clay, but I’m not sure about this technique of rubber stamping with them.
