I used scrapbook stamp....

Is this cheating?
The white lines could have been cleaner. I will try next time but it was 2 in the morning already.

That's a very pretty stamp, and I certainly don't think it's "cheating". I have a maple leaf outline stamp that I fill in red or white on Canada Day, or blue for the Toronto Maple Leafs. I could free-hand paint one, but it's more uniform using the stamp.

Lots of people use stencils too, I just got a fairy one that I think will become a linebuster for those crazy busy days.

Who cares if it's "cheating"? It's really pretty! Love it!

I deleted my post because I don't want to cause controversy in any way.

is the mermaid a stamp also...i love it...i don't think its cheating you still have to do the details and all..good work ladies

They are disney stamps, they come in all disney cartoons, I have all the princesses, mickey mouse (no as popular as the princess) and some others that I use to do special tattoos, they work really good with the body glue.

Also... you can use lick n'stick tattoos and embellish with face paint... like little butterflies and the like... then after the face paint washes off they still have the tattoo.

I wouldn't want it on MY face but the kids go for it, and in the summer parents are usually cool with it too.

Nicole, How do you load the stamp? Paint it on or press the stamp into the paint container?

That is so cool, and really pretty!

Post a tutorial on stamps, I do not see any difference between using a stamp in the middle of something you painted and putting on gems or adding scales from a stencil!

We could all learn something new to put our own "stamp" on!

Shannon, do you put the lick and stick on before you paint?

Yup.... I should go dig out a photo... I have one I did in myself YEARS ago... somewhere... oh yeah! I entered in a Snaz contest waaaay back... here it is



A small butterfly tattoo, and then I painted the daisy and the eyes... something easy on myself.

Im about to go back to Michaels and get all Disney stamp. lol. I know I just have to practice my line work. But I love the stamp idea.

Ya know... the Disney police are everywhere... if you are using a licensed character stamp and CHARGING for the resulting artwork you MIGHT be breaking copyright laws.

I know of case of crafters using Disney fabrics and selling the things they made out of it being sued and/or shut down.

The products are "for personal use only" and not to be used on a resale basis... Just a heads up it you are wanting to use Disney characters.

And face painters have received letters from Disney lawyers for having images of Pooh etc on their displays and painting them!
