A Christmas tree stamp is a good idea. After painting the stamp green you can add white paint on the tips and multicolored glass ornaments all at once.

What makes the computer pad idea work is that it is somewhat porous which facilitates the absorption of paints. One thing I know is that if you experiment it leads to all kinds of other surprises.

I remember carving some little stamps from erasers. Recently, when using okra in preparing some curries, I was quite taken with the design of the okra's cross section, and meant to save one end piece to see if it would work as a stamp.<br /><br />Isn't it fun to be playful and experimental? xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.com
