Step 4: Carved stamps: carving after it is cured

Carving the stamp after it has cured is similar to doing an eraser stamp.  Prepare your stamp as in Step 2 and let cure for 24hrs.  With a pencil draw your image onto the stamp.  If you want to have text on the stamp it needs to be a mirror image.  Carve out the shape using a utility knife.  Take your time and work carefully, unlike the stamps in Step 3 you can't smooth over your mistakes. Test out the stamp as you go to see which areas need more carving.
