Enlarging stamped images...
... for your own personal use
Enlarging stamped images is easy to do, for your own personal use.
But don't use this technique if you intend to sell them because making them bigger has infringed the stamp manufacturers copyright for that image.

Sometimes the stamps you have are too small for the purpose you want them for. Or you may have used the stamp a lot and are just bored with it.
There is a way to make them bigger, but only for your own use.
This stamp itself is a very pretty one and it was free from a magazine...
... and once coloured in and layered it will top a Christmas card beautifully.
But I wanted to enlarge it to make a picture and then frame it.
So I stamped the image out using a dark coloured ink, and then scanned into the computer.
I used the free software from Picasa and scanned the image into my library.
It can then be enlarged it just as you would any of your photographs.
I selected print and then chose the size I wanted to make the image. I made mine to fit an A4 sheet of paper, and once printed out it can be coloured to suit your project
You can see from this photo how much bigger the stamped image has become. This will look fabulous when coloured in, and layered on to some mirror or glitter card.
It makes a very pretty picture for your childs bedroom wall.
