You can use the bottom or the top and have a positive and negative print.

Then, there are the thinner ones that you can dip in liquid paints and lay them around on the surfaces and weigh down with another card. Then there are the rubber bands wound around cardboard tubes and then rolled in paint. <br /><br />The fact is, I resist paying for anything.Parabolic Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08293896881451344660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416236720869454402.post-37209587497972513542014-05-18T00:02:49.395-04:002014-05-18T00:02:49.395-04:00Love your corrugated cardboard stamp.

I also use a net wrapped bath sponge, plastic textured shelf liner, and other goodies I found at a dollar store. I actually own any true stencils so I use whatever I find. I love your results!

My most favorite tool is the waste from a 12x12 strapbook page of punch out letters. I wound up getting rid of the letters and kept the leftover bit. It prints or stencils this great field of circles. I love to layer it too.

I like how your 3 pink squares on the postcard look 3-dimensional.<br /><br />I haven't been using anything new this week, though I've been creating every day. Lots of painting with a tiny tiny brush (for painted rocks), lots of collage, lots of printing (getting ready for a craft fair) and more folding of map paper bags (I'm obsessed; I can't stop).amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02429539000041713324noreply@blogger.com
