Challenge #27 - Working in Wet Paint

I LOVE getting messy when I scrap!!! And, I hope to get you all addicted to being more artsy too! So,...

I am challenging you to just play or reverse stamp in wet acrylic paint, with regular stamps or found objects... like bubble wrap, kitchen tools, old thread spools, fingers, etc... (TIP: The paint can be made more transparent and wetter longer, with the addition of a gel or gloss medium too!)

The idea is to lift the wet paint and/or play in the wet paint to create patterns and textures. (TIP: If you paint a surface first, allow it to dry, then do the wet/lifting technique, you will get cleaner shapes and lines, and a different result than one layer of paint.)

How can this process/experimentation be used??

It can be used to create background paper, as I did.... It can be used on a big element, like a huge chipboard letter or frame... It can be used on a transparency, as long as you allow for longer drying time... Etc... (My example and detail photo are included below, along with the AWESOME examples our DT achieved!!!)

The possibilities and applications are endless! Have fun, and MAKE ART! And, please link YOUR FAB results to this post by Sunday, September 21st for a chance to receive a WONDERFUL RAK from me!... Pam

Hi there! I have done many "my firsts" on your blog and this is another of "my first". I have never used this technique before. So I followed the tips. Painted, let it dry, applied paint+glossy accent, then reverse stamped with x-shaped foam stamp. The 2nd image will show the close-up. Thanks for the fantastic challenge.

I am not a paint kind of gal but I did pull out my paints, mixed them to get the charcoal grey and then use a Glitz roller stamp over it!
Thanks for the push to do something different,

I had so much fun with this layout (even though it took overnight to get dry). Awesome technique! Here's my layout:
