Dragonfly Stamp Resist Background

A project from our live show CATCH UP with the PEARLYWINKS LAUNCH in the HTCN studio broadcast 10th Dec 21 · 10/12/2021

Use a dragonfly stamp as a resist to create a striking background. Spray colour over the stamped image, then use kitchen roll to lift and blend the colour, leaving the stamped area protected and creating a beautiful resist effect.

Tips from the show

Keep reusing the same piece of kitchen roll for mopping up—it will become saturated with different colours
Once dry, you can run the kitchen roll through a die-cutting machine to use it as a patterned background
