Photography stamps offer a distinctive appeal to a variety of projects. Vintage
photography stamps are available by a number of companies, but a new
contemporary line of photography stamps are available through The Stamping
Studio (www.thestampingstudio.com).
As the artist behind these images, I find it exciting to see my photography used
in new and exciting ways.
Photography stamps can be
temperamental, but with a little practice, beautiful results lead to unique
artwork. Staz-On ink (Tsukineko) on glossy cardstock is the best combination for
realistic photo looks. Watercolor paper gives the images an impressionistic
look.
Photography stamps are not limited to paper. They work beautifully on dominoes,
glass, wood, and tumbled tile. Stamped in black, the images mimic black and
white photographs. Stamped in brown, the images recall a vintage feel.

Cherokee Rose stamp (The Stamping Studio)
