 So, here in this video, we're going to show how to weave. I am going to show you how to stamp and paint using the new modern atomic collection of stamps that I designed. They are made to be layered one on top of the other, and you can do this with ink, of course, or paint. There's a couple of different ways you can do it. You can do it the regular way with just a stamping block and an ink pad. The problem I have is I'm an imperfect stamper, so then if I don't use a stamping platform, which this is, then I can never line things up exactly, and these are red rubber stamps, so they're difficult to line up. So I am going to use the Tonic Studios stamping platform, and we are going to put a piece of paper in there with the magnets like you're supposed to, and I'm going to pick a couple of stamps out that I want to use. I love the moon design. You start with a solid colored shape. I'm going to lay it down, face down on the paper, and then close the lid so the lid picks it up. Then I'm going to ink the stamp, and I'm using I think a blue color box stamp pad, a light blue color. I think my daughter got it for me for Christmas a couple of years back. I don't remember, and of course I drop it and get ink everywhere, but you know. So just ink it up really well, and then close the lid, that's all there is to it. Now the nice thing about the stamping platform is if you don't get good coverage on the first pass, which I got an okay coverage, you can take the ink pad and stamp the ink again, I mean ink the stamp again, holy cow. And just close the lid again, and it's going to go in the exact same place, and you're going to get even better coverage than you did the first time, which is what happened here. And that's much better, perfect, I love it. So then I'm going to take the doodly shaped moons, and I'm going to line them up on top of the solid colored shapes. It doesn't have to be exact, they're meant to be offset just a little bit. Again close the lid, and then go over it with a darker color. You can see here that there was some black ink left on the stamp. I actually decide not to use the archival pad, I actually think it needs re-inking. I'm going to use the Tim Holtz Distress Ink Black Soot, and we're going to get the ink the stamp nice and juicy with ink. And again if you don't get full coverage the first time, just don't take the stamp off and just ink it again and close the lid again. That is the beauty of the stamping platform, which I wish I would have invented because it's a great invention. And there you have it. And it's a quick easy way to make stamped embellishments for our journals, card making, tags, or anything. I love that. Of course the modern atomic stamps can be used directly in your journals. The solid shapes are great for adding texture and interest to your backgrounds, as are the doodle shapes. It's thicker paint. This is dry on here, which is fine, because what I was using was too, I think, watery, it wasn't opaque enough, and a little bit thin. This is Dina Wakeley's Media Paint. I'm going to start with a light blue. You can use craft foam, you can use an acrylic sheet. You can use a lot of stuff to do this, and I do this often with my stamps. When I want something, especially that I want to put in my journals, I want to really do something mixed media with. I either use the jelly plate or foam or whatever as sort of something to, sorry, the camera got shaky there. And the little feet sounds, yeah, my daughter's dog Lily is here. Anyway, she knocked into the tripod, sorry. I either use the jelly plate as something to ink my brayer and do as you see me doing, or I stick the stamp pad directly on the jelly plate and get paint off onto it this way also. So whatever way works better for you, sometimes depending on the color and the kind of paint, having some sort of a flat surface that could be a piece of glass, again, it could be a jelly plate. It could be anything. Then you can just get a thin coat of paint onto your stamp so that you can stamp with it with paint instead of ink. So maybe you only have waterproof black ink and you don't have lots of colors that are waterproof and you want to put it in your journal. That's when you would want to use paint instead of ink. And then look at that. Look at how nice that image came out. These are the ones I did in ink. Look at that. Okay. And then you can take the same pad, need to find my black, my same, I'm gonna use the same jelly plate. I'm not gonna clean it off. And I'm going to use the doodly half of these moons. This is Dina Wakeley's Media Paint again. This is night, which I believe is like a really dark blue. It's actually not black, but that's what I could grab easily. And again, so if you're using paint too with these layered stamp, the nice things about that is you could do that first solid one in black and then you could do the doodly one in white. It'd be very opaque, so it would show up really well. They don't have to be lined up perfectly, but I do sort of want them going in the same direction. So let's see if I got it right. Yes, I did. So that, there you have that. So you can create a lot of fun little embellishments or focal points for your journal pages, greeting cards, tags, using either ink or paint with your rubber stamps. Any of them, not just mine. This is something I do a lot. I also do it on deli paper and tissue paper. And then you can collage it down with as much wet medium as you want. And this acrylic paint, it is not going anywhere. So there you go. There you have it.
