Wall paint and STAMP

So this Autums projects included apple harvesting, fruit drying, Canadian Thanksgiving and bathroom wall stamping with ArtFoamies. What a beautiful time of the year. The Fall colors make me so very happy. We have so much to be thankful for.
If you wanted to try stamping with some ArtFoamies on your wall, make sure your prepping is done right. Walls covered with acrylic based paint first, works the best. If you do have an oil based surface lightly criss-cross with sandpaper where you will be stamping. This will give the surface a very light "tooth" to grip the paint that you will be using on your ArtFoamies.

Support your hands on the wall with your pinkies before you stamp. This will give you more control.

Make sure to put slight pressure everywhere on the back of the stamp to ensure you get a good printed image.

Gently lift off the ArtFoamies once you are ready. If you made a mistake, keep a wet cloth handy and wipe off and start over. No biggie. :)

I love using lots of colour. This picture doesn't show it very well, but the walls are painted a very light sea-green. (Acrylic based) I used a variety of opaque acrylic based paints with strong pigments for the stamping. Even Pebeo's fabric paint. Once you wait 72 hours for the paint to cure - it won't easily wash off. I also used Decoart for some lovely colours.

ArtFoamies that I used were: ArtByMarlene -Circle Salad and Geo flower. Balzer - Spot-on and Swirly large. I think I might add some pen lines or leaves to the mix. Why not? Life is too short not to. My kids were worried about me stamping the bathroom wall with lots of colour, but they loved it in the end.
