Using Chalk Pens & Crayons to Color Stamps
Hi my name is Shelly Cordsen. I am with Expert Village.com. We are doing rubber stamping and methods of coloring. This method I am going to show you now… I am going to show you three. Naturally, and again this is on an open stamp. We will use, what you can find in your children’s room is simple cheap crayons. You can sit color your stamps, very easy. It is like coloring in a coloring book. Another method is your colored pencils, which you can find at any store; just sit and color with your colored pencils. As you can see I am not really a color coordinator today. One of my favorite methods however, is watercolor pencils. You can find them at most craft sections in a store and we will stay with purple again. And watercolor pencils you just kind of want to outline your project. Let’s say, we are going to outline the edges of her pants and then we are going to use just plain old paint brush with a little bit of water and we are just going to start blending that together. Pour your color in, it makes it look very water colored. Another product out there is a water brush. There is water inside this. You put the water in your self and squeeze it, and you get water on the tip of the brush and then again you can come in and just keep going over and over. We wipe it off, paper towel your hand, your pants and just go to the next color. Another way to do it is take a colored pencil. Take your wet brush and put some color down there and may be you say you want to see what it looks like with a little bit of blue; rub some blue in there. You have got a real pretty violet and a whole new color to paint with. So, now you have become an artist.
