Double Resist!


This card was make with the "double-resist" technique. We all know about resist - which is basically keeping the coloring from dying the cardstock. You can create the effect by inking a stamp with a clear ink like Versamark and then apply the ink over the top - which gives a softer effect. Or, you can stamp and emboss with clear ink and powder and that will totally resist the color and show the white. Double resist is using both techniques. Simple to do, you just need to follow the correct order. First do the "stamp and emboss" one. Let the heated powder dry and cool, then do the VersaMark style right over the embossed images. Now when you add the color (in this case I sprayed with Glimmer Mist), the images embossed show through pure white and the ones done with the VersaMark are a pale pink. It's really 2 great effects in one! I used Hero Arts images on the resist piece and the flower image is from Penny Black.


Have a great weekend!
