' ' ' 'Crafty Endeavours: Resistance

Sunday 10 April 2016

Resistance

I'm always attracted to door stamps so when the D letter came up at the Craft Barn dictionary challenge this was a no-brainer...



Prompted by the Paper Artsy and the SSS Monday challenge, I used a resist technique with wax paper to create a wall around my door (I used a Crafty Individuals stamp as my Paper Artsy door was too big for my panel) . I embossed the wax paper with the Tim Holtz Brick wall folder then placed it over the card and, protecting the iron with scrap paper, ironed on the design.

Then it's just a matter of applying Distress inks with blending foam. Easy peasy...

For the "pink" twist I added my letter D in a salmon pink so it didn't jar too much with the earth colours of the picture.

Thanks for coming by,

  19. I realize I'm late visiting and the Craft Barn has already announced their next letter, but I vowed to visit everyone and even though I'm late, I'm here now.

    I really adored how you took us through the steps you used to create this gorgeous resist technique. Your stamping is brilliant and the resist technique is well thought out.
