- Other supplies as needed to complete the project
Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Load the back of a palette knife with a small amount of texture paste.
-
Apply the paste to a piece of cardstock in a thin layer. The area covered should be about the same dimensions as your stamp image.
-
Step 2
Ink a rubber stamp and gently press it into the paste.
-
Use care so it doesn’t slide.
-
Step 3
Holding the paper on both sides of the stamp, firmly but slowly lift the stamp off the paper.
-
Step 4
Clean the stamp with an old toothbrush to get all of the paste out of the nooks of the image.
-
Step 5
Let the panel dry. Cut it to size, and apply it to a finished project.
