Stamping Experiment with Heat Setting and Matte Medium

In this first experiment, I’ll start applying fluid acrylics, then testing out the permanence of ink with heat setting and applying matte medium.

I have never used the Memento ink. I use Ranger Archival for permanent ink on multi media – no smell like Stazon has.
I think that the issue with the Momento ink smearing and not being permanent, even after heat setting, was due to the acrylic paint- it made the surface no longer porous.
