Things to stamp the clay with
Getting Started . . .
I like to use beige super sculpey and colour it later with paints.
Trim the edges and bake.
All polymer clay is different some clay will bake and stick together, others won't. After baking check that the two pieces have bonded together. If they haven't stick them together with glue.
Give each piece a colour wash. Dilute acrylic paint with a splash of water and paint over the clay, wipe away excess paint with a cloth/sponge (I use my thumb) Leave to dry.
Here I've gone over the impression of the leaves with a darker wash to make them standout more and highlighted the wings of the butterfly with a fine tipped brush.
Hang on a clothes airer with paper underneath to catch any drips.

Additional Ideas
These two pieces were stamped with beads, rings, and stamps. A jewel was embedded into each piece. The jewels were pressed into the clay, removed and then added back once the clay had been baked. | These two pieces have been embelished with the internal workings of a callphone. The pieces were stamped, baked, painted and then had circuitry glued into place. |
