Instructions  

(1) Create a stamp using the gray side of a two and one quarter inch by three and one half inch piece of Cut n’ Dry Foam.  Use the Craft Tool to heat the gray side of the foam until it looks a bit shiny then firmly press the heart stamp into the foam until cool.  You now have your own custom negative image of the rubber stamp.

(2) Stamp this custom image with Pool Adirondack Stamp onto a twelve by twelve sheet of clear vellum.  You can stamp randomly to cover the sheet or follow the following steps for a symmetrical pattern:
    Visualize the paper in four-six inch by six inch quadrants.  (Use care when you are stamping on vellum in the following steps.  It’s easy to smear ink while you work as the ink takes a while to dry completely.)
       Quadrant One: Start in the upper left corner of the vellum with your custom stamp vertical and the heart facing to the left.  Ink the stamp with Pool and stamp the image in the upper left corner of the paper.
 •     Turn the stamp counter-clockwise ninety degrees.  Your stamp is now horizontal with the heart shape facing the bottom.  Ink with Pool and stamp to the right of the first image and at the top of the paper.
      Turn the stamp counter-clockwise ninety degrees.  Your stamp is now vertical with the heart facing to the right.  Ink with Pool Inkpad and stamp beneath the second image. Line your stamped edge up to
