Try It Tuesday~metal stamping.

For Try It Tuesday I wanted to share what I have been playing around with~metal stamping on spoons and forks.  My friend Betsy over at My Salvaged Treasures put this bug in my ear.  I saw what she did and wanted to give it a try.  If you look at Betsy's post she talks about fonts and sizes.

You can use either one of these to stamp on~sledge hammer head or an anvil.

My metal stamps are by Impress Art / font is newsprint.  The size is 3mm.

I taped my spoon down so it wouldn't move on me.
The H is slanted but I love slanted H's!!!:):):)

I used a black paint dapper and then wiped the paint off so it would stay in the crevices.

I glued a clip on the back so I could use it to hold a photo.

  4. I love crooked "H's" too...I often make my letters crooked on purpose so that I don't have to measure straight lines and then fail.

    Sorry to hear about your dad. Sending healing prayers for you and your family.
