DC Simply Ir-resistable

Wooohoooo … it’s finally Friday. After an exhausting exam week and a weather which can’t decide if it’s time for spring or winter, I’m looking forward to a relaxed and quiet weekend in my warm home.

Svenja picked a great challenge for the Daring Cardmakers.

simply ir-resistable

make a card using some kind of resist technique.

Resist Technique has fascinated me ever since I first came across it. I think it’s just this magical moment when an image appears from a white background – like in the photography-lab back in school.

And there’s so many different ways to achieve the effect: you could use resist-ink like VersaMark, you could do an emboss-resist technique (ironing the embossed bits off or leaving the on, just as you like) or even use some wax to keep the colour off your paper (even a candle might do there).

I used two different butterfly stamps to create a busy background (with versamark ink and white embossing powder) and sponged some green ink over it. It was a lot of fun! Why don’t you give it a try this weekend?!

Juhuuuu … endlich Freitag. Ich habe eine anstrengende Woche hinter mir und freue mich auf ein ruhiges und entspanntes Wochenende in meinem warmen Zuhause.

Svenja hat sich diese Woche das Thema für die Daring Cardmakers überlegt. Sie möchte eine Resist-technik auf euren Karten sehen. (Wenn ihr nicht genau wisst, was das sein soll, könnt ihr ja mal auf dem Blog vorbei schauen oder im Internet tolle Tutorials anschauen). Viel Spaß!
