You'll get excellent images...clear as a bell, in fact, if you apply the paint to the stamp with a rubber brayer. Haven't any idea who thought up that technique of patting the paint on the stamp with a foam brush (or sponge)...absolutely no way that could leave an even layer of paint o a stamp. An uneven layer of ink on the stamp results in an uneven and blotchy print.
Easiest paint to use is an acrylic craft paint (Delta, Plaid, DecoArt brands). Shake the bottle, then pour a small amount into a smooth plastic plate. Roll the brayer back and forth through the paint until the surface of the brayer has a thin, even coat of paint. Roll the brayer over the stamp and stamp. Have a couple of damp kitchen sponges handy. Roll the brayer over the sponge to remove the paint before it dries; place the stamp, ink side down, on the sponge between uses. If the paint should dry on either the stamp or brayer, KissOff will remove it.
It's best to do a couple of test prints before you tackle the walls...tape some card stock to the wall to use as a test area.
Stamping on walls?
