Long before there were rubber stamps, crafters would carve a design into a potato. It still works wonderfully today. Simply cut a potato in two, then draw a design in pencil on the flat side. Cut away the areas of the design that you don't want to show up, creating the relief. Add paint with a foam brush and use as you would a rubber stamp.
