1. Place steel block onto rubber block. Place arte metal blank on steel block. Strike the letter stamp very deliberately with a brass hammer; repeat for the remaining letters (you may also use a texture hammer as seen on the natural brass blank). 2. Use an acrylic paint dabber to apply paint over the stamped word. Remove the excess paint from the surface of the blank using a tissue or paper towel.
