Resistance is king!

Hi, hello there and welcome:0)
Resistance is the issue of the week at the Craft Barn and I have made a card:0)

 I know most of you will be familiar with this resist technique but I'm sure there will be some folks who haven't encountered it yet.
I started by stamping the ivy stamp in versmark clear embossing ink and then sprinkling with white detail embossing powder, I heat embossed and then inked and stamped over with distress inks, finally wiping gently with a soft cloth to remove ink from the embossed areas.

The sun is a Crafter's Workshop mask/template mini circles basic and it gets an outing very regularly, I love circles, Tim Holtz distress inks and his sentiments too. To finish I used Andy Skinner's geese, a beautiful stamp, they go gliding silently off into the sunset aaaah, LOL

More and clever examples of resistance crafting at the Craft Barn Blog, I hope you like :0) Gay xxx
I used
Hero Arts Sillouette Ivy
Andy Skinners Back to Nature stamps
Tim Holtz Good Thoughts stamps

This post is scheduled. I'll catch up with you as soon as is possible:0) I'm going away for a short break so may not be back online until about the 20th of March! But I will try to get a connection whilst I'm away, fingers crossed!  Gay x
