Basket Stamp Sequence

Recommended Posts

What is the correct sequence of adding a basket stamp to a project that includes a tooled design---before tooling the design or after tooling the design. Then----how close to the tooled design should the basket stamp be?; And, in what sequence is the backgound added?

I think that we need more information. Is the basket space big or little- what is the pattern-does it surround the basic pattern or is it the focal point-do you plan to have a border or bead separating it from something else- etc.

post your pattern if you can

The basket space on this particular piece is not too big and it will have a border and it will surround the leaf. In general, which comes first?, as I do plan on doing larger pieces where the basket stamp will surround the focal design?

Your help is so appreciated.scan0003.jpg

If I were doing this I think that I would lay out and cut the borders first, bevel the borders,do the basket stamp just to the edge, then camo or put a border stamp around it. Then I would check the measurements to make sure that it didn't stretch with that much basket stamping in the middle. (Of course you should tape/glue the piece to a board first.)

Just the same, they do stretch sometimes so make sure that your piece is larger than the final size.

Hope this helps- and make sure that you show us when it's finished!!
