Definition: Outline stamps have the outline of an image and these typically consist of detailed lines. These stamps can contain a great deal of detail and lend themselves to a number of different projects.

Very detailed or large outline stamps need careful stamping as they are easy to smudge and clean smart images are key to effective stamping.

Art stamps are often outline stamps, containing a great deal of intricate detail.

Outline Rubber Stamps are Good For:
  • Projects where a detailed image is required
  • Images for painting and coloring
  • Over stamping with complementary colors or designs
  • Creating interesting backgrounds by stamping multiple images in graduating inks
Tip: Embossed outline images are good for coloring with paints. The embossed outline stops the paints from running.
