When paper and card is glued together, it is a good idea to weight it with a book. Poster Paint is quite slow drying but can be speed dried with a hair dryer. Scissors are used in a few of the steps and if you are a child it is important to get adult supervision. The great thing about potato stamps is that the cards can be mass produced so you can make lots of cards quite quickly. Copyright of Mont Marte International Pty Ltd ACN
