What kinds of paint brushes is okay to use on stamps? I'd like to buy a set of paint brushes or pens to color rubber stamps with but don't want to buy something that might ruin them.

I'm not too finicky, but I just use foam brushes with acrylic paint... I buy them on really cheap sale (20/$1) and throw them out when I'm done... then just wash with soap and water..

I need a set of pens (or brushes, whatever) to take to retreat. I don't want to take bottles of acrylic paints and brushes (foam), but I appreciate you responding.

The only time I've used paint is with the spongy rubber stamps. You know the ones I'm talking about? You can get them for like a $1.00 in the craft section. I like the sponge brush; they are usually on sale and not expensive at all.

sorry I couldn't be of more help..

If you are talking about the paint pens, they REAlly need to be used in a well-ventilated place and I'm not sure how the properties in those would react with the rubber or acrylic in the stamps...Prob your best bet would be something like Marvy pens.

no help here...I've never stamped with paint...

I think you're talking about brush tipped markers. Look in the aisle where they sell the rubber stamps and there is usually a set or two of the brush tipped markers in different colors. That is what a lot of gals use to color in different parts of the stamp to stamp with more than one color at a time. It works better on fat filled in areas of the stamp. You can also use the markers to color inside the stamped lines after the image is stamped on paper.
