One of the things I have used in my art quite successfully is using rubber stamps. To keep my work original I have carved many of my own stamps. This also avoids copyright infringement if the stamp or stamp brand is "for personal use only" and you are making items to sell.
Here is a video that I did years ago. My tools are a Speedball Carving set that I bought locally at a craft store.
Sharpie Marker, black, available many places.
Mastercarve black by Staedtler (discontinued) You can use a Speedball SpeedyCarve block or another brand of block or a cheap rubber eraser.
Carving a Rubber Stamp
I hope you enjoy the video and maybe try carving your own stamp.
FYI This video is listed on the Tutorial Page of my blog. Pages are on the left hand menu.
Until Next Time,
Stay Creative
