Instructions  

(1) Ink Foam Scroll Stamp with Clear Resist ink. Stamp image across the 12” x 12” White Gloss Paper in three sections.

(2) Repeat process for “Dream a little dream” image, stamping between the rows of scroll stamp images.

(3) On the Non-Stick Craft Sheet, use Craft Tool to dry Clear Resist ink. As an option, you can let air dry or carefully blot on scrap paper.

(4) Cut out strip of 12” x 12” White Gloss Paper to a 3” x 12” width.

(5) Place various rubber bands on Medium Inky Roller.

(6) Ink up brayer with Clear Resist Ink and run in a vertical pattern on strip of Gloss Paper. Clean off by running on scrap paper.

(7) Repeat process of inking brayer with rubber bands using the Brights Scrapbooker’s Palette (Banana, Tangerine, Aqua and Carnation). Archival Ink will also act as a resist…it’s like Clear Resist, but with color! Go from light to dark ink color, creating “ribbons” of color on Gloss Paper strip. Note: remove rubber bands when done so as not to create a permanent “dent” in the brayer.

(8) Use Craft Tool to dry.

(9) Ink up Large Inky Roller (brayer) with Vibrant Primary Rainbow Pad. Be sure to lift up brayer so the roller on the brayer gets full ink coverage. Starting from the left side of the paper, brayer color onto the 12” x 12” Gloss Paper over scrap paper. Note: This is one of the only times where scrap paper is recommended rather than the Non-Stick Craft Sheet, as it can get quite inky!

(10) Use clean paper or cloth towel and wipe off excess ink that is sitting on the resisted images-see how the resist image pops!

(11) Repeat process until even and full coverage of ink is obtained on this half of the paper.

(12) Flip the paper over and repeat the process, so the yellow end of the rainbow pad is repeated in the middle of the paper.

(13) Turn the paper again 45 degrees. Repeat steps 9-12; this will create a fun plaid design!

(14) For the 3” x 12” strip, brayer the left and right sides with the yellow side of the rainbow in the middle, creating a beautiful rainbow of streamers. Note how both the Clear Resist and Archival colors show through even the darkest of the dye rainbow inks!

(15) Stamp phrase “the 3 AMIGOS” using Jet Black Archival Ink Stamp Pad. The Letter Set allows for easy placement of letters. Hint: figure out what your title will be ahead of time and be sure you have enough space to stamp…it’s not fun to run out of room with letters to go!

(16) Layer title strip and photo on Black Gloss Paper.
