Mixed Media Stamping - Pencil Resist
In my mixed media playing, I stumbled upon a fun resist technique, mixing oil- or wax-based pencils with water-based mediums. It's not as bright a contrast as you might get with an emboss-resist technique, but it has some really fun applications for backgrounds, using stencils, rubbings, and doodles. I hope you'll come over and check it out! Here is the accompanying video, with several variations on the technique to get you started.
This is the card I made using the first stenciled sample from the video - the stamps are my designs available through Impression Obsession (Daisy Dress Form, Beautiful You).
Hope you'll check out the tutorial, then play along!
Beautiful work! Thanks for the terrific tutorial! I'm really glad I came to your blog. I got to go and see the flourishes tour and that was great fun! Thanks ;))
