If you want a white background, glue on a piece of white paper to one side.

Step 3: The Stamp

2. With a marker draw your design for your stamp on the eraser.
3. Slice along the outline of your design.


Step 4: Still the Stamp

4. Hollow out inside your outline.

Step 5: The Ink

5. Colour on the stamp with your markers

Step 6: Printing

6. Before the ink dries, stamp onto your postcard. You will most likely have to put more ink onto the stamp after 1 or 2 stamps.
After changing from a dark colour to a lighter colour you should wash the stamp so the colours don't blend.


Step 7: The Finished Postcard!

Congratulations! You made it through my confusing instructions and have created a BEAUTIFUL stamped postcard to send to someone!
