Don’t feel alone. You could be the best stamper in the world with the best quality stamps and it would still happen sometimes. 🙂 Usually you want to trim the rubber stamp as close as possible, but the mounting cushion doesn’t need to be trimmed very close at all since it is further away from the paper. And the mount is even further away. If you are still getting ink from those on your art, there are a couple of things you might want to look out for.
