Ink the entire surface with a light color...something you can see through easily to your transfer lines, pencil markings, etc

Let set for a 10-15 seconds..then blot off the excess with a tissue. Let dry for a couple of minutes, then carve.

I have now tried this on the last two stamps I have carved and all I can say is God bless whoever thought of this idea! It worked so well that carving was a pleasure for this newbie.

Glad it worked well for you, Red Soup. Now try a magnifying light and you will be in HEAVEN! :)
