Foam stamps work well with paints. Either pour a little paint into a saucer and dab the stamp into this prior to stamping the image onto a page or use a paintbrush to apply the paint. Make a few stamped impressions onto scrap paper first to ensure that the paint is equally distributed over the stamp.
Tips for Using Foam Stamps
- Check that the stamp does not get 'clogged' with paint. This can cause a patched stamped image.
- Simple and bold image will work well. Very intricate and complex designs may be difficult to cut
- Draw your design onto paper and use a photocopier to increase or decrease the size. This will give you a range of different sizes of an identical design.
