I covered one of my rubber stamps in gel medium, instead of ink, then I stamped it on the surface. I used water color to paint over it. The gel medium acts as a resist to the water color. It looked really good. I wish that I had taken a picture of it right after I used the water color. I ended up painting over it with acrylic paint because the dress needed to be more pronounced. You can still see the stamp through the acrylic, but not as much as with the water color. I want to try it again on something else.

Girl Number 3
I'm on a roll. I painted another girl on the back of a cereal box today. Again, this one is very Kelly Rae Roberts-esque. I tried another new technique.
