Steps
- Step 1Draw on the Presto Foam with a ball point pen. Keep in mind what you draw will remain black, plus, the negative space and the design will be backwards when you print it (especially important if words are used).
- Step 2Place pewter ink in tray and ink brayer. Now ink the Presto Foam. Place black paper on top of Scratch-Foam Board and burnish to print. Remove paper.
- Step 3While print dries, wash ink off of the Presto Foam and then dry it with a paper towel. Next add additional details with the ball point pen. Remember that where you draw this time the pewter will show through and all of the areas that you don't draw will be a new color the next time you print.
- Step 4Print the design with copper ink following the directions in Step 2.
- Step 5Repeat Step 3 adding the final details.
- Step 6Print the design with gold ink following the directions in Step 2.
