Looking to try something fun for your art journal? How about stamping with erasers. In this post, I will talk about how I painted flowers by stamping with an eraser. I will share where the inspiration came from.

Supplies you will need are a package of erasers, scissors or a rubber carving tool if you have it, acrylic paint and a journal page.

Feel free to add markers or crayons. Work with what you have and make it your own.

Next, use scissors to cut your eraser in various shapes. Start Stamping thinking about the various flower shapes.

Then, use a pen to outline the flower shapes I did that for the rose, for example. Emerald green paint with gold outline would be beautiful. Oh my, yes!

I like the blue flowers. I could have drawn these with a brush but where is the fun in that! I should do this again and create a pattern with the flowers. Yes!

My blue florals are beautiful There was no intention. I was living in the moment. I had an idea I implemented it. Maybe the color was wrong. Paint was too thick. But I have ideas. Painting with eraser stamps led to exploring types of leaf shapes.

Then it was what else can I stamp with? Maybe I could stamp with a Lego piece or a similar wood cube? More erasers? Smoother cuts. Brayer?
