Thumping 101, by teacher,  Cory Bauer!!

Ready class????

Materials needed:
-glossy paper
-ink pad (light in color---like yellow, or light pink)
-3 juicy, brush markers (like---red, purple, black)
-one stamp with a thick-lined image
-stamp cleaning materials

#1) Fold your glossy paper into a card.

#2) Ink your stamp with the light colored ink pad.

#3) Take the lightest color marker and tap the brush end (thump it) all over the stamp. (Thumping your marker is like hitting the stick on a snare drum!!)

#4) Then take the next darker marker, and repeat the thumping process. Finish with the darkest marker.

***Always go from lightest to darkest with your colors. You don't want to get dark colors in your light inks.***

#5) Breathe on the stamp to remoisten the ink.

#6) Stamp the image on the card. (It may take a few minutes to dry completely.)

#7) Clean off the stamp with your cleaning materials before you start another thumping card.

That's it!!!! It should look like a tie-dyed image!

Glossy paper will blend the colors better than the regular flat matte paper.

Well class! Any questions? Just write!!

Enjoy!!

Bye, Cory  :*)
