My mom is into stamping, and she does this cool thing that might work
for us.

She will take a rubber stamp and color in areas of the lines whatever
color she wants, taking her time to get it all right. Imagine a
flower stamp that has the raised parts colored pink for the petals
yellow for the center, green for the stem and leaves.

Now you would think this would be too dry to use after you have spent
all that time coloring, as the ink has dried out.

What she does is like when you clean your eyeglasses with a tissue-
you puff a little hot breath on it to steam it up, then she stamps
with it right away. It will make a visible design about 3 times, then
you have to start over.

SO MY POINT!!!--- What is to prevent us from using, say jar lids,
film canisters, etc, and drawing around the lip a few times with
wasable marker, huffing a little steamy breath on it and stamping a
template onto skin?
