IT’S EASY WHEN YOU KNOW HOW!

You can also create and use your own stamps. Marabu Soft Linol plates and a linoleum cutting tool make this extremely easy and great fun! Simply draw or print out the desired image, use a pencil to transfer it to the Soft Linol plate and cut it out.

How it is done:

Start by decorating the box lid in a spring-like colour combination. To do this, cover the work area well and brush water all over the lid.
Next, apply two different Graphix Aqua Colour shades using lots of water and let the colours run together. We recommend using the largest, widest brush possible.
While the lid dries, also brush plenty of water all over the bottom part of the box. Next, as with the lid, decorate it in the desired shade(s) of Graphix Aqua Colour using lots of water. You can create a colour transition here as well or simply use a single shade.
Once the lid is fully dry, letter stamps can be used to print on the recipient’s name. The Aqua Lino Printing Paints can also be mixed together to create a custom shade for this process. Use a brush to apply the paint to the stamps, print the letters on the box and you’re done!
