Thank You

Haven't done the Resist technique in awhile - time to get back to it . . .

This card is a variation on the technique and it actually isn't Resist at all!  A true Resist involves stamping and embossing the images first, then sponging on the background colors.  The embossing powder resists the ink - hence the name of the technique. 

However, some of the ink usually lingers on the image even after rubbing with a paper towel.  This can give a nice effect if you want an aged, more muted look to your layout.  But if you want a really crisp white as I did here, you're better off sponging on the background colors first, then over-stamping and embossing the images.

Try both methods - each gives wonderful results!
