Paper Casting With Stamps by Wendy Kerr
Reprinted from
the web
Items Used:
Pigment Inkpad
Cheap Toilet Paper
Soft Paintbrush
Water
Watercolor Paint Cakes
Stamp by Yellow Rose Art Stamps
#1: Lay your
stamp design side up on your work surface.
Tap lightly with a pigment inkpad (pigment inks will bleed a little adding to
your final look.)
#2: Load your
paintbrush with water and tap onto the toilet
paper.
Do not BRUSH on as it will tear your paper.
#3 Add more paper
and press down. Make sure you get the paper into the grooves of the stamps.
Be gentle! Add up to 10 sheets (for this project I added 7 sheets) When the
paper gets too dry, add a little more water. As you get to 5/6/7 sheets don't add any more water. Keep
adding sheets until the top sheets are barely damp to the touch.
#4 Using
watercolors, add color to the areas of the paper.
Bold color is ok, as it will be muted on the front side. Let dry then gently
peel from your stamp.
Center: (1) Dry
flowers (2) Run a small piece of acetate (transparencies) through your Xyron machine to get it sticky. Feel backing off. (3)
Place dried flowers onto the sticky side of your acetate. (4) Crumble a piece
of white tissue paper and place onto sticky side of your acetate, on top of
dried flowers. Press down. (5) Attach to frame with glue, then
attach that piece to green cardstock.
