White Colored Pencil Resist Valentine

The January Monthly Mix Challenge at Gina K. Designs is to watch a video of Gina K. making a card using White Colored Pencil Resist technique and then make one of your own.   

When I first started stamping, I was utterly fascinated by techniques.  I had so much fun following tutorials and then creating the magic myself (I remember actually doing a few happy dances in the privacy of my studio).  Gina is the Queen of taking those possibly forgotten techniques and making them new & cool again (and I love her for that ... actually I love her for so many more things than that ... she's truly da' bomb).

 

 

I have the same butterflies that Gina used in her video, but I decided to mix-it-up and use the Love Sentiment from Gina K. Designs Sweet stamp set (because why not use a bit open space that makes it more critical that you get your coloring very solid) and turn the design into a Valentine.   I used BubbleGum Pink ink in the middle of my panel with Red Hot ink on the top and bottom before tearing and inking the edges with black ink.

 

 

I used foam tape to pop up my resist panel for a bit more dimension.  The stamped sentiment is from the same Gina K. Designs Sweet Set with a Heart from Gina K. Designs Lovely Words with ombré inking with the same red & pink inks.  The finishing touch was a few clusters of pink gems.

Since I gifted myself Gina K.'s Sweet Set for Christmas (she had some great sale bundles ... how could I resist), I'm linking-up at the Daring Cardmakers New Year - New Crafty Things Challenge.

oh, yes, this looks like a magic techniques! And it's such a great idea to use all the old techniques once more ... because the results are still striking.
Thanks for sharing your card with the Daring Cardmakers.
