This works fabulously when the paint palette is loaded with a rainbow of colors, especially if you are finished painting for the day and there is still loads of paint on the palette. I just dipped the cardboard circle (a fancy tool – the center from an old roll of masking tape) into the paint & stamp. I stamped on tags, I stamped on paper, and I stamped on my shirt. The shirt one was not intended, but clumsy hands make for a colorful shirt.
I watered down some of the paint from the palette to color in some areas. Perhaps I’ll cut some off for a junk journal page. Who knows what I’ll use this background paper for but I had fun making it. That’s what the art is for me, fun. How about you? Want more fun? Stop by Paint Party Friday and Julie Balzer’s blog to check out some fabulous posts!
How very cool…i would love to do something like this and im sure my kids would enjoy the result too…great work…xxx
So colorful! Love it!
Loving your colourful circles they make a great background. Happy PPF, Annette x
what a great great idea! I may have to try this.
It’s so pretty! A cardboard circle, who would’ve guessed!
I love seeing the creative ways people use their extra paint and I LOVE stamping with circles. I have a box full of round objects of various sizes picked from the recycling. There are so many different things you could do with this beautiful paper!
Your love for creating is so infectious. Everything you do looks and sounds like so much fun. I love all of the colorful circles.
Your circles are gorgeous! Love the happy rainbow colours. Happy PPF!
Fun, fun, fun!
Great idea! Especially like the addition of the color washes in some shapes. 🙂

Your circles technique made quite a beautiful piece of art.
Love it!!
What fun–and I absolutely love that last one with the colored areas. Sometimes those “fancy tools” make the best things 🙂
Wheee! This looks like such fun to do. Now you have got me thinking. You should try this on a sheet of glass. How cool would that be?
I love making circles with paint, these are just spectacular, a rainbow spectrum of deliciousness. xox Corrine
What fun! Love how these turned out!
Note to self – keep old tape rolls!
I love this, the circles, the colours and happiness is totally evident in this work.
Lovely colorful creation ~ namaste, carol (Share the Creative Journey) Happy PPF ^_^
Fantastic Circles!!! Love how the colors stayed so bright!
Brilliant!
Totally cool! Love this sort of art! Valerie
It looks so bright and colorful. very creative to use the masking tape to form the circles.
This is so cool and colorful, LOVE LOVE the fun you had and all the results. Using leftover paint is always fun for me as well. They all came out so awesome!! Going to try this idea and circles on anything are always my favorite.
Thanks for the tip on using masking tape, I’ve just bought my first one and prob. would have thrown it out when done. Now I will save everything because you never know when you might need it.
Oh I love your circles! What a great way to use up left over paint. Happy PPF!
Oh, I just love these happy circles! What a great idea! 🙂
It really makes me happy watching it! I would hung it on my bedroom wall! :]
very cool technique!
Beautiful! What a great idea!
Circles are great, love that you used left overs and they turned out so well. Blessings, Janet PPF
Fun, bright, happy art. Wonderful

Excellent way to use up that pesky left over paint. And with such a light hearted, fun result!
How wonderful! beautiful colors! I was picturing that you rolled the tape through the individual paints, but then I guess you would really have a mess on your hands and the colors would all get smushed together and turn muddy! A brilliant idea!
Love, love, LOVE it!
wow! so smart and colourful!! really like this.
