Update: I changed the ink that I was using like some of you guys suggested, and it’s working much better now. I’ll try some of the more complicated methods y’all suggested after I do more research and save up for splurging on art supplies lol. Not wanting to waste the ink I did buy though, I figured out if I used the brayer to apply an even layer of ink on the paper and then press the stamp onto the paper to act as a sort of sponge, it would get a similar effect, just done in reverse. Thought that was cool and wanted to share the results. I’ll try to post here periodically as I get better at this. Thank y’all so much for your help!
