Pat the potato stamp dry with a paper towel. The Projecting end of the Topic to lift is very convenient to lift and make stamp art.
Create the Butterfly Print
Prepare the paint on a flat surface, You can use a combination of any contrast colours to get amazing results. We used Blue, yellow and pink.
Dip the potato stamp into the paint.
Firmly press the Potato stamp onto a piece of paper for 2 seconds. Slowly lift the stamp from the paper and Repeat to make a pattern.
Now that the Beautiful wings are ready, we will make the Butterfly body and antennae with black paint. Use a Spong brush and make the body. A Q-Tip would be perfect to draw the Antennae.
