Have you ever tried to make a hand-print from your little-one? If your baby is like my son (s)he will crumble up the fingers and make it real hard to make a nice print before you have ink all over the page, your clothes and the baby's face.
When making hand-prints for a baby album, card etc.:
- Scan a picture of the hand into the computer by placing the hand flat down on the glass plate in the scanner.
- Transfer the picture to Paint (any photo editing program will of course work) and change the picture into the colors you want
- Print it on the smooth side of a transparency using an ink-jet printer.
- Let the ink dry for at least a few minutes and transfer it to paper the way you use a rub-on. (for on how to make your own rub-on see the guide by yourmemoriesbydesign-ymbd) The ink can dry for more than an hour and you will still be able to use it.
