Try To Resist...

Hi Everyone...welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog...thank you for joining us for last week's We Can See Clearly Challenge...we hope you can join us this week too...

and the theme for this week is...

TRY TO RESIST 

there are so many different products that can be used to create a resist and this week we are showcasing RANGER PRODUCTS ...you don't have to use them to join in but we would love to see them used if you have them.

I'm an avid collector of Tim Holtz Layering Stencils and store them in Tag type books held together with a book ring...it makes it so easy to flip the top and find the stencil you want. I was over the moon when Tim very kindly gave me the 12 sets (woohoo) of his Mini Stencils to play with and how could I resist making them a nice new stencil storage home.

I started off cutting tag shape covers from chipboard...gave them a coat of white gesso and for the first resist technique I applied Idea-ology Remnant Rubs-Numbers which resist any colouring medium applied over them.

For the second resist technique I used the Flourish Mini stencil from Set 10 with the Mini Black Soot Ink Pad and a blending tool to decorate the top and bottom corners...sprinkled the wet ink with Ranger Fine Detail Clear Embossing Powder and heat set.

and for the third resist technique...I applied Ranger Transparent Matte Texture Paste through the large dots stencil from Set 10 and left to dry.

Then it was time to have some fun colouring the cover with Distress Crayons Set 1 Brights. I scribbled the colours on to the cover and blended with my finger...then gently rubbed the crayon back from the resist areas with slightly damp kitchen towel.

I added black and white die cut flowers from the Wildflowers Thinlits set and Idea-ology Big Chat Stickers

 and a Idea-ology Philoshophy Tag...the wording was coloured with the Antique Linen Distress Crayon

there are 3 mini layering stencils in each set so I left them in the original packaging and stapled the edges to create pockets...

and the minis are now happily snuggled up with their larger brothers...
