Totally Resistable...
  Hello friends and welcome!  Today’s post is a very special post and I’m so excited to share with you all...I was recently asked to Guest Design for SimonSaysStamp Flickr Challenge #106 “Totally Resistable”.  For this Challenge, I chose both a watercolor resist technique and ink blending Resist technique.  The card above showcases the watercolor resist technique.  To start, I stamped SimonSaysStamp Center Cut Flowers onto a piece of Distress watercolor paper, stamped the image, then white heat embossed.  Next, I chose “worn lipstick, squeezed lemonade, and twisted citron” Distress Inks and began watercoloring over the stamped image.  The embossed image “resisted” the Distress Inks.  Once dry, I die cut panel using stitched rectangle die cut, then die cut SimonSaysStamp “Whoa! You’re Amazing!!” word die from a piece of Neenah solar white cardstock.  To finish, I assembled elements and adhered to card base.

For card 2, I used a heat embossed resist technique but this time ink blended over a clear embossed SimonSaysStamp Grid Background stamp using various Distress Inks (candied apple, carved pumpkin, squeezed lemonade, cracked pistachio, mermaid lagoon, and blueprint sketch).  To start, I stamped SSS Grid BG stamp onto a piece of Neenah solar white cardstock then heat embossed using Clear embossing powder.  Next, I ink blended panel using above mentioned inks.  Next, I die cut SimonSaysStamp “Kindness Matters” die cut using a piece of gold mirror card stock.  Next, I
adhered panel to SSS black card base, adhered gold twine and sentiment, then added SSS “sparkle and shine” sequins.
