2 Cute Rubber Stamps Pendants

So I was thinking of a fun way to use 2 Cute Rubber Stamps and I came up with creating pendants.  I had some wooden squares I had from a previous project so I thought why not stamp and paint them.  I ran into a few problems:

     1.When I painted the wood and then stamped on top and then added a layer of                         gloss  the "ink" smeared. 
     2.  I tried first stamping on the wood then let dry, then painted with some translucent              glass paint but that semi smeared the ink and then once again smeared when I put                the gloss on top
      3.  So then I bought a different ink pad, but I bought the wrong one I need to buy the                starz on brand because that won't smear.

So after all the different testings I ended up just stamping with my original ink pad and using colored pencils to color the image instead of paint.  I used crayola on the turtle pendant and I used prisma colors on the owl. I let the turtle ink dry over night and then I glossed where I just stamped the owl and let it dry for like and hour and then glossed.  The owl seemed to bleed just a little when I glossed where the turtle seemed to be ok.  I did also put some pearl x powder ontop to give it some sparkle but it didn't show up as much as I wanted though you can see it better if you look really close.  I did find out I need to mix the pearl x powder with a certain medium so it will sparkle better.  I am going to buy the starz on ink pad soon and do a test with that.  I really like how these came out and can't wait to put bails on them and string and wear!  Who knows I may start a 2 Cute Jewelry line.   I also have some other ideas where I continue to crop the stamps in a unique way and also maybe even doing some hand drawn one of a kind pendants, perhaps even some abstract ones too!!!
