Good day, all who like to make a mess and those who force themselves to make a mess...not messy today though. We are going to try a new tutorial called adhesive resist. Essentially it's putting a matte adhesive through a stencil, letting it dry and then blending color on top. The adhesive part should remain white. Sabrina, Anita and I have tried several adhesives, some don't work at all, like Mod Podge or Tacky, others are just ok but the adhesive part takes on color, so the one that has worked best is any matte medium. I happen to have three different types of matte medium (don't remember why!) and they pretty much worked the same. I also tried making my own matte medium, using school glue and water. The ratio is about three parts glue to one part water. The results were different but still interesting. If all else fails, you could put Versamark through a stencil, clear emboss and proceed.
I made four cards, one with each matte medium and one with the homemade version. I will put the cards in the first post. Have fun!
