Blogger’s Challenge 53 – Resist
Today’s Blogger’s Challenge is to use any type of Resist technique on your card. I chose to do my background in a technique from the February/March 2008 Technique Junkies Newsletter called Joseph’s Coat with a Twist! I never tried it when the newsletter came out (gasp!), and I didn’t know what I was missing! VERY fun technique to do! I used the Baroque background stamp because it was a large solid stamp and shows off this technique perfectly.
My colors were Mellow Moss, Always Artichoke and Whisper White. I also used stamp sets Together Forever and Lovely Letter’s alphabet for the mongram. I had the bit of green stripe ribbon in my stash. And I added a trio of Pewter mini brads up in the left hand corner.
This was really a pretty simple card, but it looks great with that resist background! Enjoy!
My husband is off on vacation next week AND my eldest son is coming in town for the 4th of July holiday. So, posts will probably be sporatic next week as I spend time with them. We have several mini trips planned and, of course, we will be out at the lake boating and visiting with friends. Have a great one!
Wow, Connie, your results are fabulous. I love the look of your card and the colors are some of my very favorites! Stunning!
Ohhhh! This is lovely. The color is what first caught my eye, then the resist background then the whole card. It’s beautiful Connie. A great job on this challenge…
