Digital stamps are high resolution graphics that you can store in your computer. These graphics can be clip art, jpegs, pngs, and tiff images that you create in Photoshop or using other programs like Word.
Digital stamps are used just like rubber or acrylic stamps. But instead of inking stamps, you will be printing on paper or cardstock using your home printer. Having a digital stamp means that you can resize it to your liking and then print it as many times as you need it. Once printed you can color your images just as you would with the regular stamps using color pencils, markers, etc.
If you are going to use watercolor pencils and apply water to your paper, then you should use the heat gun to your image before you start painting. Or you can emboss your image just when it comes out of the printer; this forms ridges that don’t allow the water to go to other sections of your graphic.
The great advantages of a digital stamp are that you can reuse it, resize it, change line colors, conserve physical space (they exist only in your computer) and the best thing is that you can make your own. I will be posting ways on how to make your own digital stamp using Photoshop and Word.
