I am using both Kraft card and Cream card to show the technique. A background stamp. I have chosen to use this Tim Holtz script stamp. Also I use Archival ink.
This is after I have stamped the image. You can see the difference between a brand new stamp pad and an older one. The Archival Coffee is much wetter than the black and the image is not quite as fine.
I then chose some more textural background stamps. I really like these ones from The Artistic Stamper. Versamark ink pad and clear embossing powder.
Heat set with heat gun
Choose some distress inks to further colour the card. I just had to play with the new limited edition fall colours.
Just apply the colours with sponges to really show up the resist.
The card is then ready for you to use in your projects.
Fab look with the distress colours over the top. Thanks for the tutorial!

Thanks for the technique. Been doing a lot of resist lately (took Jennifer McGuire's class) but never thought of doing it on Kraft! Can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteI love the look of the resist on Kraft- Thanks for sharing!!! Great cards- it is nice to see the resist on the lighter CS too for a visual comparison.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tutorial, very neat. I will have to give that a try.

This is amazing, Laura - I cannot wait to do this technique!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun new way to try out Tim's new colors for fall! I especially like your rainbow-stripish look, the way you've blended artfully at the edges, along with your cute layout overtopping all.
ReplyDeleteGotta try this one out soon!
Thanks!

oh, lovely! Thanks for the lesson.
ReplyDeletegreat fun!
ReplyDeleteI love the resist technique it always gives a bit of wow factor to what could often end up a boring flat background. I love how you have used these images together to create a seamless design. It could easily pass for a background stamp taht was bought ready made.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab technique and tutorial! Thank you so much, Laura,
