The pictures don't do it justice!<BR/><BR/>I have started using more and more acrylics with with paper (bizarre as that sounds). I have some 140 pound Bienfang watercolor paper that my DH got at Staples. The store where I usually get my watercolor paper has been out of it for ages, so DH when on a hunt and came home with this. I usually use a lighter weight paper (110 pounds). This paper is much thicker (tough to cut out detailed little images though). I will be posting a card done totally in acrylics soon!Cathy and Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11985161421939096681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654629415230193115.post-82688152910464280442008-11-02T07:09:00.000-05:002008-11-02T07:09:00.000-05:00Cathy, I love both of these projects.

You are absolutely correct, painting with acrylics is wonderful, the colors blend beautifully. Now if I could figure out a way to use them on paper, I'd probably stop watercoloring. I have your same tastes, I prefer vintage, florals, dainty, etc. Folk and country are wonderful, but they don't appeal to me. Is the picture with the rose and frame stamped? It's gorgeous, I love the frame! If you painted your project on a thick paper, such as watercolor, you can lightly mist the back with water, sandwich it in between two sheets of watercolor paper, then place a stack of books or anything heavy on it and let it dry overnight. This is what I do when my watercolors buckle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654629415230193115.post-54262984640297096672008-10-28T20:26:00.000-04:002008-10-28T20:26:00.000-04:00what do I think?

I hope you feel free to continue using whatever medium works for you... who knows? Maybe one day it'll catch on & you'll have started a whole new trend in the stamping world?!?!?!thinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13278274180847839241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654629415230193115.post-47648615211167472732008-09-27T17:06:00.000-04:002008-09-27T17:06:00.000-04:00I'm running out the door but I just had to peek qu...I'm running out the door but I just had to peek quick!

The way I look at it, art is art. The important thing is if you enjoy the process and the product. Seems like both are workign for you, so why fix it if it's not broken?! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654629415230193115.post-11256320025340044822008-09-25T11:24:00.000-04:002008-09-25T11:24:00.000-04:00Wow!!
