Paint for Use in Rubber Stamping Projects

By Kate Pullen, About.com

Definition: Paint is a useful material for many rubber stamping projects. The most popular paint type is tempera (also known as gouache and poster paint). Tempera is similar to water colors however it is sold ready mixed and the pigment particles are larger giving a deeper color.

This paint is water soluble making it easy to clean. Many tempera paints are also safe for children to use, although the manufacturers instructions should be referred to for more information.
Also Known As: Tempera, Gouache, Poster Paint
