Using Kraft Resist

First off I have to share that my Bright and Bold Card won over at Dilly Beans, check out that post here

I'm super stoked to get started on their newest Challenge "hearts"

Ok, so today I finally had some quiet time to myself in the craft room...

I had swung by Michaels yesterday on my way to work and picked up a pad of

kraft resist from Tim Holtz (after I saw his tutorial on his blog here)

I didn't really have anything in mind when I started, was just gonna play with the product a little bit

This is what ended up happening!

The kraft resist is basically kraft paper that has varnished images on it...

When you ink over these images and wipe the ink away there is color on page everywhere

but where the varnish is... It's a pretty cool effect.

As I was just playing around, I didn't care too much about color, but I think this

little card ended up pretty cute!

I did a sentiment only card per the challenge over at creative inspirations

Plus the bling (sorry it doesn't photograph very well!)

on the sentiment for the bling it up and gems and twine at cute card Thursday and

Crafty Creations respectively.

I also hand dyed and stamped the background for the anything goes challenge,

and added the buttons for the challenge over at corrosive challenges by janet

Finally, the background is mostly all hand made, the inking, the stamping, ect ect that is for

the challenge over at Anything goes challenge make your own background

I hope you're having a fabulous weekend!!

I am on a mini mostly staycation next week, so I will be in the

craft room with the kitty!
