Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS encouragement/friendship card that uses the paint resist technique.
I applied Picket Fence paint to an older Hero Arts stamp – Leaf and Floral Background – and stamped the image on white cardstock. Once the paint was dry, I applied Peacock Feathers and Faded Jeans inks. I then wiped away the painted areas with a slightly damp paper towel. This technique gives a subtler resist than heat-embossing the image.
I cut the panel with a die from a retired MFT Blueprints set. I stamped the sentiment, from the Simon Says Stamp You Got This set, with Mama Elephant Smoke ink.
How clever is this? I would NEVER have thought to use this technique and now I NEED to try it!! Really nice design!!
Jean this is fabulous. You’ve reminded me how much I love that stamp. I need to go through my background stamps and play some with them.
Pretty resist with the paint, Jean! Just love that background stamp & you made it shine!!
I love this card Jean – fabulous technique. I really like the sentiment too, and the colours are fabulous.
