Playing with paint :: a quick tutorial with stamps
Inspired by Jane’s use of acrylic paints in her guest post, here’s a little something to try to get a new look from paints and stamps in your collection. You’ll need a paper tag, a stamp, embossing ink and powder, and a heat gun. It’s easy-peasy:
If your tag is white, add ink in pale brown shades to add depth. You may want to omit this step if your tag already has colour.
Use Versamark or a clear embossing ink to stamp the woodgrain background all over the tag.
Cover in clear or light brown embossing powder and set with a heat tool.
Apply acrylic paint in the colour of your choice. I used Chocolate from Making Memories.
Remove the paint from the embossed areas with a baby wipe or a sponge. Let this dry while you go clean your paint brush.
Add to your next page or card and embellish right over the top!
Today’s challenge? Make something with acrylic paint—in any colour—and share a link with us. Every day this week I’ll be giving away a set of Banana Frog stamps! Today I have a set of Backgrounds to send to a lucky winner—including this woodgrain stamp. Entries close at the end of June!

Would love one of those woodgrain stamps! Here’s a LO I made of my son’s debut as a Munchkin in The Wizard of Oz. Acrylic paint used for background and letters.http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/pg.asp?cmd=display&layout_id=1492066

I adore what you have done here with this LO and love this stamp to bits. I saw the polymer clay jewellery with this stamp and was just blown away! Fabulous. Kim

“Love the wood-effect stamp and the tag decorating is a great idea.
I made this LO for my nephew, who’s a keen skateboarder. I used acrylic paints, mixed up and applied to foam sheets with a sponge and foam alphabet stamps, to make a “US number-plate” style heading, which I then attached at top and bottom. I also used the same paint mix to decorate the chipboard photo-corners. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=125185&id=775264965#/photo.php?pid=2931241&id=775264965”

Love that woodgrain stamp and the use of the embossing powder is nothing short of brilliant. This is a link to a layout using acrylic paint on the letters and the chipboard scrollwork. As well I used acrylic paint on bubble wrap to create the background. Sorry for the awful scan.

Haven’t pulled out the paint in a while. So I figured why not pull out the ancient MM stamps, the vintage 7G transparencies, and some unknown eyelets and put together a pretty old school page!
Here it is: http://s624.photobucket.com/albums/tt322/mariepscraps/?action=view¤t=FieldNotes.jpg

Love my paints but don’t use them nearly often enough, thanks for the challenge which made me get them out. I’ve used white acrylic in the 2nd project on this post:

There are some smartphone apps, such as PaceDJ and RockMyRun, that will help you plan your playlist to include songs with the correct number of beats per minute to keep you on pace.

This pace is faster than a stroll, but likely not the fastest you can walk. If you download a step app for your smartphone or smartwatch, it will help you keep pace.
