The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge # 64 - "R" is for Resist (Technique)

Happy Saturday Peeps! Just LOOK at what we have for you today over at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers... a Technique Challenge - show us your favorite "resist" technique.  How can you RESIST the temptation? Grin

Here is what I created!  I did not use any snarky this time because I was right up to my eyebrows in arty, mixed-media creativity. (No, Really - I had product in my eyebrows!) But I did find this awesome quote to go with my 5x7 board canvas... What do you think?

Now as a special treat for all my faithful blog followers and you wonderful people who actually READ the sutff I write,  I am sharing with you, in photos, the ENTIRE process of how I got here.  Mixed-media is all about adding and taking away and adding back in until that little voice in your head says ... "DONE" - so here is my process and the many faces of this canvas along the way... Enjoy!
I started by pasting these inky paper towels to my board canvas
The flowers were created by using this Art Basics 3D Transparent Gloss Gel and my brand new STAMPlorations stencil "Happy Flowers" to create the Resist in my resist technique.
This is what the paste looks like when it is wet, but it will dry absolutely clear so that the color will show through.
I painted the background in a wash of water and gesso to fade it back and to make the flowers more prominent.
And them because the product was so clear, I applied some Viva Ferro Gold through the stencil to highlight some of the image and then outlined my flowers using a black waterproof ink pen.

I used another of my new STAMPlorations stencils "Bubbles-mini" to add some texutre to the background with some white dimentional gel paint from Art Anthology... it is very sublte but leaves a lovely shimmer. (Look at the top left and bottom right corners)
Next I added a border of torn music and dictionary paper and used the "stamping on tissue paper" technique to add the words "Art Your Destiny".
and of course it wouldn't be my project without some Bling... grin


Finally I softened the background even more by brushing on more gesso wash and then wrote in my final quote which really expresses beautifully where I am in my life right now...

"Some People Want it to Happen;
Some People Wish it to Happen;
Others Tear Down the Walls of RESISTANCE
and Make it Happen." Mirela

Here is a photo of all the products I used for this project... Now why don't you come and show us how YOU Resist!

  10. I do so enjoy learning new techniques and a big thank you for the fabulous step by step. Glorious project and a big thank you for the wonderful inspiration. Thank you for finding time to stop by my blog and leave such kind comments...I used ordinary bleach on my tag diluted with water to remove some ink but next time I will water it down even more as the tag underneath was ivory and now even that went white...which in this case was no bad thing...but maybe not next time! xx
