Does the quality of the TP make a difference?
I don't think it makes a difference, but I don't really know. I use whatever I have on hand. Since I only use 3 or 4 sheets per image, it doesn't make sense to me to buy it just to use for this purpose. I don't use colored TP, but don't think it would matter...probably be interesting to try.

About color, I meant do you color the design with markers or paint?

In case you wondered, yes, I am blonde! LOL I can't believe I didn't realize what you were talking about. I've used chalks to color mine and some look fine without color. Cecelia |

Cecelia you're just a wealth of ideas!
Lynne "Cecelia Medbery" wrote in message news:m1c9d.816$lp6.481@okepread01... I use the "inbetween" plastic to make shaker and window cards. What I mean by "inbetween" is...not the stretchy Saran Wrap plastic and not un-bending acrylic. It's kinda stiff, but if you fold it, it makes a crease. Does this make sense? I think it's cellophane, but not sure what they really call this. Also, I bought some rubby lacey kinda placemats from Wal*Mart on clearance and have brayered over them to leave the imagine on cardstock. VERY nice AND I can use the actual placemat cut up if I'm wanting more of a layered card. Here is a weird one... Get a panty liner (I know, too strange) and stick it to a disposable plate (I use the "snack" ones that are small). Pour just enough bleach to soak in, but not leave a puddle then use as a stamp pad. I've seen bleach used with a paper towel, but this way leaves the image more clear. Try using a word stamp with both methods and you will see the difference. Have y'all tried the toilet paper casting? Lay a stamp rubber side up and put a single sheet of toilet paper on it (1 or 2 ply is fine) then spray with water. It usually shapes to the image, but if not, kinda pat it in the grooves without tearing. Put another piece on top and do this again. Do about 4 pieces (depending on thickness of your toilet paper) then let dry. Trim it however you want just so it doesn't look like a sheet of toilet paper! Then stick it to a card. It is VERY hard and will not crush in the mail, but you may have to pay the extra charge for a thick envelope. Put rubber bands randomly on your brayer, ink then make some very interesting background paper. That's all I can think of right now. Cecelia |

Hi all,
The net bags mentioned - if you cut them into squares - roughly - the jagged edges are part of the attraction and glue the piece to card and use as a background on its own, or "hang" things off the net so it works as a real fishing net - good one for Grandchildren, who enjoy making paper fish, starfish etc. Enjoy and keep those great ideas flowing.

Another idea for the brayer is to use an old onion bag (they orange or red
net like bag ) and place over CS and brayer over it , it leaves a cool design that almost looks like chicken wire, make great background for farm cards or fish cards etc... -- ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~ Tanya Williams Stampin' Up!

You can stamp using those non-slip rubber for chair legs. They come in
pack of 4 in hardware shop- round black rubber with design. just stick to a piece of wood or thick foam and stamp away. Great for background. Flora Tan SHARE THE PASSION! http://www.making-greeting-cards.com |
