I am just getting the opportunity to 'try' some of the stamps I carved during my spring vacation. Here are some of a set of tall buildings. I stopped by an area lumber yard and picked up a couple packages of 'shims' - which are essentially skinny woods (like rulers or paint stirs) cut on an angle. I found by placing two together and gluing them - they became a perfect flat rectangle - perfect for the buildings. The rubber was attached to the shims. I was able to use both the front and back of the wood pieces - so I actually have more buildings (not seen) than what I printed for this post. I've wanted to do buildings for a long time. I am very happy with the way they turned out.
I did a few 'mcdc3s' styles. Here's one with a coffee cup. Fun! I plan on using these with journal projects.
