A little paint?

Published by Julia Stainton at 6:21 am under Card Designs, Cornish Heritage Farms

A little paint anyone? Did you know you could stamp with paint? It’s actually a super cool and fun idea. I love the grungy shabby look to it and how paint is opaque rather than soaking into the paper like ink. Now I must admit…I DID go a little crazy with the paint on this design. Actually…it’s a bit of a sampler. You know…like they used to make with different stitches. Well…this card highlights a bunch of paint ideas I was trying out.

Here’s my ideas..

- inking a scrapblock with paint dabber - Old Typewriter stamped on patterned paper

- inking the kissable tree with paint dabber and stamping on a clear card sheet
- freestyle painting the reverse of the clear card sheet to make “leaves”
-highlighting a sentiment by painting behind the word - hello sentiment
-painting paint dabbers over already painted chipboard - chipboard bird

Painted Hello

Maybe it’s a little over the top for paint but hey! It was lots of fun to make! Ranger Paint Dabbers are the Cornish Heritage Farms product spotlight for the next two weeks. Check out some tips and ideas here.

Have a fabulous day!
