Currently working on a little something for the next Simon Says Stamp & Show challenge blog. It will be posted on Monday but in the meantime . . .
I tried a little pen resist.
Starting with this gorgeous paper from Pink Paislee
I first went over the white leaves with a white gel pen. Once that was dry, I used a clear gel pen and went over those white lines again.
Of course, you wouldn't have to use the white gel pen to create this resist, but I did want to pop the white a bit more. You could achieve this by using just the clear gel pen.
Once the pen work is complete, all has to be thoroughly dry
and then I added Distress Ink to the edges and over the pen work. As you can see, the gel pen resist the Distress Ink. Now those leaves really pop!
HOW BEAUTIFUL is that resist!!! Just pops!!
