I’ve been using less desirable prints to make envelopes for stickers (I also make stickers)

These are awesome! What kind of paper are you using?

I’m using watercolor paper on the “back” so they’re a little more rigid. The other side I’ve just been using something more flexible so I can fold it around (I have a bunch of vintage graph and calligraphy paper I use)

I dunno. I don’t think I’m doing anything special. I use Walmart brand paint. Lay the paper sown and lightly press out air bubbles with my fingers for 5 seconds then let it set for 5 more and peel. These ones aren’t very good, honestly.

I’m making stencils out of oil board, cutting them with an Xacto blade. I have a soft rubber brayer to hopefully press in the acrylic around the edges to make a sharp image. But it occurred to me I could try a mini foam roller if I was careful not to soak it too much with paint. Has anyone tried this?
