Rubber stamp "decaling"

[nachoman]

I finally got around to buying one of those alphabet stamps to play around with. The letters all lined up, and it was an appropriate size and style of lettering. I tried white acrylic model paint as "ink" and using clear decal paper, painting a piece of wax paper to use as an "ink pad". The paint just kinda squished to the sides and formed a "halo" around the letters - a big failure. I tried using light pressure, and stamping several times, and nothing changed.

This was laser decal paper, and I may have more success using ink jet decal paper and actual white ink that I may get from the art supply store. Or I may try applying directly to whatever it is that I am trying to letter (as Ralph did).
