Splitcoast Tutorial: Adhesive Resist
This week's tutorial over on Splitcoast is brought to us by Ranger Ink! They're sharing an Adhesive Resist technique that can be done with matte adhesive.
I don't have Ranger's matte adhesive, but I have a jar of matte Mod Podge, so I used that instead - my application was a little uneven, which I like after all! I think Elmers Glue-All will work too and I will try that next time, but the Mod Podge has a little more body to it.
The stencil I used is called Both Way Stripes, and it's from A Colorful Life Designs (remember code DinaFan10 at checkout if you want to save 10%!). I masked off each section to brush on the ink, but then went back in and overlapped a little of the color. This stencil is amazing because - there are 5 striped sections, but 4 of them fit perfectly on an A2 card! Well designed.
The dies I used are brand new Spring designs by Anna Wight - this is a sweet little combination of 3 different sets! I especially love the wreath, and I have another idea for it that I'll be trying soon. For the opening, I cut a circle in my stenciled panel. The back panel is connected with a 1/2" hinge at the top fold.

Here's a closer look at the stenciling... I'm fascinated by the little fiber marks in there - not really sure what caused that effect!
Couple other things... I have just 2 of these bracelets in my etsy store - these were prototypes testing different bangle styles. They're so cute!
I've also added some loose handmade beads (half strands) to the store, in case someone else might want to make a bracelet or incorporate paper beads into their other jewelry work. If not - they're really pretty hanging above my desk!
My daffodils are pushing up... and I'm working on Fall and Winter stamps today. All the ironies of an industry designer.... cheers!
