Resist Painting!

Altered Pages and Yasumoto Arts are cross promoting this month.

Resist is an easy technique I tend to forget to use. At Altered Pages we have several products you could use with this techniques: Faber Castell Gelatos, Niji Paints, Silks, Mica Paints, Splash Inks, even Dylusion Inks & Sprays. 
Today an am using my Faber Castell Gelatos and my Niji Waterbrush from Yatsumoto Arts.  This month we are cross promoting with   I found  a few  blank postcards to use the resist technique.  These will be perfect to send a quick note to a few of my girlfriends.
Supplies:
Stamp
Watercolor Postcard stock
Black Ink
VersaMark
Clear Embossing Powder
Craft Mat
Water
Paper Towel 
First, stamp the sentiment on the card and heat emboss with embossing powder.  On your craft mat scribble a little color from your Faber Castell Gelatos using a Niji Waterbrush apply color wash over the embossed sentiment. 
You could cover the whole card with color if you like.  Today I wanted to be a minimalist!

I keep a heavy small crystal bud vase (tends not to tip over) with water and paper towel on the table to clean my brush between colors.

Hope this inspired you to try the resist technique.

Be sure to stop by Yatsumoto Arts and see what they are creating with Altered Pages collages!

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
