Rubber Stamp Tutorial for Beginners - Washboard
Introductory Tutorial for Beginners to Paper Art Rubber Stamps------This is how a washboard is made
The first step: handling the anti-slip knife. The tool used is a triangular knife. The function of the anti-slip knife is to prevent novices from slipping when the lines are not smooth enough when processing patterns, resulting in broken lines and frizzy lines. When inserting the knife, stick closely to the inside edge of the line. Score each edge so that the lines of the pattern will be much smoother.
Part 2: Start the washboard. Depending on personal preference, I generally use a curved seal knife because it is more convenient because the edge of the knife is bent into the knife. Insert the knife diagonally along the newly wiped anti-slip groove. Every side needs to be touched. When scraping, don’t use too much force, don’t use too deep, and basically keep half the edge of the blade. You can start from the small places. Pay attention to the strength of the knife, so as to ensure that the washboard is of the same depth. Sometimes there may be situations where the knife is not in place, and you can make additional cuts to make the washboard smoother and neater.
