Gently roll paper into stamp to finish |
Step 3 - Use the paint brush dipped in water to gently push the paper into the stamp's textured surface. When thoroughly damp place the second piece over and repeat wetting and pushing into the surface. Continue for 3 -5 layers of paper depending how textured the surface is.
Step 4 - Use a roller to gently push the paper mush into the textured surface of the stamp. Don't push too hard otherwise you'll just push all the mush to one side. If this happens just pick it up in your hands and place on to of the stamp again.
