Kate Pullen

Wet paper casting or embossing is a simple technique, yet one that produces interesting and effective results. The technique uses wet tissue paper (toilet tissue) that is pressed into a stamp to create a 'cast' image. This works best with stamps that have deep impressions.

Materials Required:
  • Rubber stamp with a bold image
  • Tissue paper (plain white toilet tissue)
  • Saucer
  • Water
  • Towel or cloth
  • Chalks, pigment powders or coloring medium if required
