Cardboard as a relief stamp

I used a circle cutter to cut the first layer of this piece of corrugated cardboard. I love cardboard as a mark making tool. You could use a razor blade or exact knife to do the same and cut whatever shape you would like.

I rolled out a thin layer of ink and then pressed the the carved cardboard into the surface of the ink. Then I placed the print paper on top and burnished.
