Practice and plan on screwing up a lot because you can go brain dead flipping it back in fourth till that one time and then sob, you forgot to turn it..

I have this stamp and been there, done that.

I echo Bruce's comments on antiquing. I'll share a photo if I can find one.

Thanks. Definitely if you run across a pic & willing to post it, I would love to see it. 

I need to figure out what type of antiquing dye/gel I will need next. 

Thanks for the input & knowledge.

Pretty much I’m the lone worker bee of the business. Unpacker, Cleaner, sharpener, photographer, describer, web dude, order taker, packer, labeler. My wife does the house and upkeep stuff so I can do all that after work and weekends. Her contributions are stamping off the website impressions and being the post office runner. It’s a pretty good system! If she keeps a stamp, she’s earned it.

As a tip to avoid the “forgot to flip impressions”. Stair step the stamping routine like laying bricks. Every diagonal line will be stamped in the same direction -  do one diagonal, rotate for the next diagonal. It is easier to keep track of that than stamping horizontal rows and having to rotate each impression.

So simple yet brilliant.

I think I understand what you are telling me, & I will try it when the stamp shows up. Hopefully Monday all the stamp tools I ordered will be here. I'm just itching to try them.
