Another Friday, another Blogger's Challenge! This week's challenge is to use any type of resist technique. I used one of the easiest and quickest--Versamark Resist. All you do is stamp your image with Versamark onto Glossy White CS. Then brayer the CS with your desired ink color. When I was done, I went back and stamped the image again with Night of Navy. I wanted it to dry so I zapped it with the Heat Tool. I discovered, doing that makes the ink fade just a bit. I liked the results so kept it.
Doesn't the Versamark Resist make a pretty background? So pretty, I didn't want to cover too much of it. So just a little ribbon and Stylized Silver HP finishes my card.
Card Details:
Stamp Set: Fresh Cuts (only 3 more days to preorder and get the special on the notes!)
Ink: Versamark, Night of Navy, Brocade Blue
Card Stock: Brocade Blue, Rose Red, Glossy White, Night of Navy
Accessories: Brayer, Stylized Silver HP (Occasions Mini), 5/8" Brocade Blue Grosgrain, 1" and 1 1/4" Circle Punches
Thanks for the visit!
Nicely done. I like the variations of the blue and the pop of the red color.

Wow, you really achieved a solid color on the glossy, lots of brayering..I agree, heating lends a nice soft look.

This is beautiful Sheryl! I just love your creations with this set! Great technique! I guess I'm going to have to invest in a brayer! It's one of the many tools that I don't have, but after seeing all of these wonderful challenge cards today...I really think I'm going to need one! :D
