While walking into my lss, their new shipment of glossy cardstock, and the clear resist pad (Ranger) caught my eye.
I thought..well how hard can it really be to figure out? Well aparently for me, it was quite hard!!! LOL I am going to be totally honest when I say that all the ideas I had in my mind failed, so until I figure out how to have better look using the resist pad, here is what I did accomplish using those supplies.
Card #1 “welcome”
I inked the butterfly stamps using the clear resist pad, and stamped directly onto the glossy cardstock, and then used my heat tool to speed up the drying process.
I rolled my brayer over a multi colour ink pad and then rolled it over the images on the cardstock, so that you can see faint images of the butterflies.
Because I didnt want every butterfly to be white, I stamped over some of the butterflies using green ink pad.
Supplies: alpha stamps: my Stamp BOX (lots of dots), butterfly stamps: my Stamp BOX (colorful companions), multi coloured ink pad: Stampin up, black ink: Ranger, glossy cardstock: Bazzill, may flower punch: Fiskars, clear resist pad: Ranger, brayer: Stampin up, flower and brad: Dollarama
Layout #2 “Life is good”
To create a background like this, you will need a clear resist pad, glossy cardstock, embossing powder, heat tool(optional) and any stamp from my Stamp BOX(of course) along with any patterned paper, or embellishments you would like.
I used one butterfly stamp from the set Colorful Companions, and repeatedly dipped it into the clear resist pad, and then stamped it all over the glossy cardstock( I didnt want the butterfly’s to look too perfect, so I stamped whole butterflies, half of a butterfly, parts of a wing(you get the idea) Because I didnt want to do any heat embossing, I used my heat tool to help speed up the drying of the stamped images(except for some along the top..You will see why in my next step)
To help lead the eye to the picture, i sprinkled bright green embossing powder on some of the butterflies along the top of the layout, but because I wanted a “raw” look I didnt heat emboss the images, I just left it with the embossing powder on the images.
You could heat emboss part of the background, or even all of the images!!
For the title, I used the alpha set (Letterboxes) 2 different coloured ink pads so I could alternate the colour of the letters. I stamped them onto cardstock(using normal ink) trimmed out each letter, and adhered them so there is a small space between each letter.
Just as an experiment, I stamped butterflies onto white cardstock(using the clear resist pad), used my heat tool to dry the images, and then applied an even layer of hot pink spray paint over the images( It didnt work as well as I had hoped..hence the reason there is no pic;)
I would love to see any projects you have created using glossy cardstock, stamps, and a clear resist pad.
Who’s saying what?
