This is the first time I've stamped this image. It's also the first time I've used these tins of paint. They look like a children's set of paints, but I bought them in the Art Department of a store. I couldn't see any difference between the opaque and the transparent paints except that one came with a tube of white opaque paint, and the other came with a tube of white transparent paint. Also, some of the colors in the two boxes were the same, some were different.
I had a lot of fun playing with these paints. They were very forgiving. I was able to un-do colors by brushing them with clear water. That came in handy when I cut out the circles. All of a sudden, the mistakes were glaring, but I was able to repair them.
I used Nestabilities Circles (both the large and small sets). The image's circle is 1 1/4" (3.15cm) diameter; the mat's circle is 1 6.5/16" (3.5cm) diameter.
It took pure courage to stamp the sentiments on these cards. I've been working on them for two days, and I didn't want to ruin them. I used a Stampamajig to help me out. I remembered to use an anti-static bag. I forgot to use VersaFine Onyx Black on the second card like I had planned to. I was immensely grateful that all ended well.
