Hi friends! I am so excited to share these inky projects… in today’s video, I am sharing three different resist techniques that are perfect to pair with ink or watercolor to get stunning effects on your cardmaking projects!

On the first card, I did a classic stamped and embossed background with beautiful snowflakes from the Dashing stamp set. Then, I used Distress Oxide inks to create a softly blended winter sky background. The embossed images resist the ink and create stark white stamped images. I finished off the card with an embossed sentiment on vellum from the Joyful Sentiments stamp set (I absolutely love these sentiments)!

For the second example, I added a thin layer of Collage Matte Medium glue through a Circle Confetti die cut. This glue dries with a matte finish, so it isn’t visible… when you add ink and wipe off the excess the glues creates a stunning resist! I finished off the card with an adorable dog image from the Happy Howlidays stamp set and added the background to a Kraft card base.

On the last example, I stamped trees from the Christmas Cottage stamp set in Clear Mark ink. After letting the ink dry, I blended a variety of Distress Oxide inks over the top. This creates a subtle resist, but looks awesome for some images! I finished off the card with a plaid background and added a Christmas sentiment.
