A few minutes of fun - with a stamped paint resist

[@Scraptherapie]

Merci beaucoup ces quelques minutes créatives, j'ai appris une nouvelle technique aujourd'hui et j'ai adoré !

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

De rien! I'm so happy you've found a new technique to play with, and I hope you'll have lots of fun exploring its possibilities. Merci beaucoup for your lovely comment.

[@robingasser1262]

I love this technique of the paint resist-thanks for reminding me to do it more often!

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Yes, it's one of my favourite resists, because of the lovely worn, weathered look it gives you. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@MixedMediaArtByTrina]

I love these techniques! Definitely going to add these to my mixed media toolbox. Thanks for sharing. 😍

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

That's great - it's an oldie but a goodie, this technique, and I love the faded, weathered look it gives. Thanks so much for watching and commenting, and I hope you'll have fun playing.

Lovely technique. Thank you Alison. 💙 🩵 🤎

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

I always love the results of this technique - an oldie but a goodie. However imperfect they are, they look good!

[@KH-ko1kh]

Love your joy and enthusiasm! ❤

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

That's lovely to hear - thank you so much.

[@bonnerdebbie]

I have not used paint as a resist before, now I will have to try. Thanks so much!

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

I love the faded, worn effect you get from it (rather than the full on resist of, say, embossing powder)... hope you'll have fun trying it out.

[@joycethompsonhogan474]

I so love this technique...I'll be trying this tomorrow morning...thank you for showing us this ❤

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Oh, that's great to hear! I hope you'll have lots of fun with it. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

[@genevievepayne4716]

Paint resist is always such an effective technique. Great colour combos too! Nice tie in with your top.....I like the look of the sleeves, would love to see the full top - I think it would look fabulous.

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Yes, it's a great technique - an oldie but a goodie. I love the weathered, faded look it gives you. The rest of the top is a sort of wrapped bolero type shape... I have it in two colourways (blue-green and blue-blue!), both bought at least 30 years ago, and still favourites. Thank you for your lovely comment and have a great Sunday.

[@barbarawafer94]

Such subtle, beautiful backgrounds. Your color combinations are beautiful. 😊

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment.

[@kraftykathy536]

Fantastic idea!!! Especially great for those who don’t have embossing powders and heat gun.

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Absolutely... there are a number of ways to create a resist, and they all give slightly different effects (embossing powder a little glossier, this a little more weathered, and so on). But with no heat tool, this one is still easily achievable. Hope you'll have fun playing with it soon. Thanks so much for your lovely comment.

[@SusanMcManus-x8l]

These are some of my favorite videos! So much information

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Very happy to hear that... thank you so much for the great feedback - much appreciated.

[@RockyRoadCreationsbyDiana]

These are just beautiful. I loved the effect of the spritz and flick at the end. ❤❤❤

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Yes, that final touch of extra texture is a real treat, isn't it? Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

[@kathytrakas772]

A new process for me and I love them! They’re just perfect!

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Thank you so much - it's a lovely technique so I hope you'll have fun playing. (Just make sure to clean those stamps quickly!)

[@astridmaclean]

Love the way how you add paint to the stamps! Great to see a new trick! And of course super effects all round! xx

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

I find it gives me more control for adding the paint than other methods I've tried. It's an old favourite for lots of us as a technique, I know - but it's a goodie!

[@laurataggart8018]

Thank you for this video. Those are beautiful.

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

They really are very special inks with amazing properties. As you can tell, I love them - in fact, they are responsible for me starting this whole journey into visual art. If you decide to try some out, I would say just start with two or three of your favourite colours. Then if you enjoy working with them, you can start to build your collection. Thank you for your lovely comment, and I hope you have a great weekend.

Hello Alison! I couldn’t wait to say, YAY on your newest release that I just saw on the PaperArtsy Blog… LOVE all three of the Stamp Sets - couldn’t pick a favorite… LOVE all of your samples… read every word and enjoyed every picture! Congratulations! I will look forward to playing with them as soon as they’re available. Have a great day! 🙂

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Oh, thank you so much, Sue - I'm delighted you love them! They are already available from PaperArtsy stockists worldwide... just check the list at the foot of the blogpost to find one near you. (Not all PA stockists stock all PA products - so if you have trouble tracking them down, let me know where you are, and I can probably point you in a helpful direction!)

I love this! Seems to me a did something similar with white pigment ink years and years ago. Thank you for putting colors used in description box👍💕

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Yes, there's nothing new about the technique itself - an oldie, but a goodie - and you could definitely get a similar effect with white pigment ink... or indeed any colour of paint. No need for it to be white! Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for commenting.

It's a lovely technique - an oldie, but a goodie - I hope you have fun with it.

Oh the possibilities with this technique! You’ve got my mind spinning with ideas! I often use a gel plate as my “stamp pad” when stamping with paint. Then I can also pull a print! So much fun! Thanks for the inspiration!❤❤❤

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Great idea with the gel plate as your "pad". The other thing I often do is stamp again on some spare card after spritzing the stamp with water to clean it. You get a lovely soft watery impression... and then you can finish the clean up afterwards. Happy you enjoyed the video - and thanks so much for your lovely comment.

@@w0rdsandp1ctures Great if you speak French well👍I had noticed some expression sometimes but not knowing if you spoke it. It’s simple for me since I am French. Good weekend too 😊

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

My German is better than my French, but I can cope pretty well in French too (especially when it's written rather than being spoken very quickly!). Sadly both of them are better than my Czech, which is what I need where I'm living now... but I'm working on it!

[@LiesjeDeVries]

Thank you so much for sharing, I knew there was a possibillity with some sort of resist thing, but I didn't know how. Now I know! Now I can try it myself. Thank you for showing how to.

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

That's great to hear, thank you! The paint resist gives you a lovely subtle effect. You can also use embossing powders, of course (which we'll do one of these days in a Few Minutes of Fun episode too), but they tend to be much more prominent. Have fun playing!

[@katrineleber7238]

I love the stamping with the white paint oh my, those lovely combinations! I think the ones with the unchartered mariner were my favorite. Somewhere I saw a piece of art that you did with a spinning round cheese box and your violet stamp set. It came in the mail today and it’s even better than it looks online. I have been looking for 20 years at least for a real good stamp for some wild violets. I got a few, but still not what I wanted. I wanted wild ones! Violets have always been one of my favorites, even as a child. For some reason, I had given up looking. There are not one but 2 violets on the stamp sheet. I’m in heaven. I AM going to find that cheese box. Am I crazy? Did I dream it? Wow, I just found your see it move section on Instagram. Very cool. Hugs, treen 💕💕💕

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

I'm so happy that you're so happy with your violet stamps!! Absolutely delighted to have solved your 20-year search... I'm grinning from ear to ear as I type this. Glad you found the cheesebox on IG - but it's also here in the Shorts, which is probably where you saw it: kzbin.infogXbGKKE7aAE Happy you like these tags too - it's one of my favourite techniques - an oldie but a goodie! Happy Sunday to you.

Oh, I like the subtlety of the paint resist. And these colours make me happy. I think I'll be doing this tomorrow 😍

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Yes, I love that you can have that subtle matte look to the resist. (I enjoy a glossy embossing powder resist too, but this is a different look for a different effect!). Hope you have fun playing - and don't forget you can use other colours besides white, which gives you endless variations and possibilities!

Wow. I LOVED this video. Your tags are beautiful and I can’t wait to see them finished at some point in the future. Thank you for sharing your techniques and tips in great detail. You make it look so easy and from one who’s tried to achieve what you just did, I can honestly say it’s not so easy!!

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

So happy to hear you loved the video, thank you! And yes, when I have an inkling about what the next steps are, I'll certainly turn the camera on to follow the process. I guess I've had a lot of practice at doing it... the more you play, the easier all these techniques become. But it's also partly about accepting the outcomes you get, and embracing the imperfections. One of the things I love about this technique is the faded, weathered look. So could the final Tim Holtz text stamp be clearer within the inking? Yes, of course it could. And if you want to be certain of a really clear resist, you could use clear or white embossing powders instead. (There'll be a video on that one of these days, I'm sure, as it's one of my other favourite ways of creating a resist.) But I love the unpredictability, and the fact that the resist is clearer in some places than others, like it's been worn away by time... and in the end, it's only a background, so perfection is very much unnecessary!!

[@CardsalotSheila]

@@w0rdsandp1ctures I tried. Few tags and they turned out great. I tried your techniques. They aren’t as beautiful as yours but I like them

It’s been quite a long while since I’ve played with resist techniques so this was a lovely reminder of that and your tags are just gorgeous! It was also interesting to see the comparison of the inks and sprays using the paint resist technique and to see how vibrant those sprays are more so than the inks which appear more muted. I usually play with one media at a time so playing with more than one type at a time will be another fun thing to add to my growing list of FUN. Thanks again for sharing your creativity and inspiration! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! 🙂

I do find a touch of resist irresistible... happy to have reminded you of some of its delights! Hope you got your tasks done nice and quickly leaving you plenty of time to play. Have a lovely rest-of-weekend!

Thank you!

These are beautiful. I hadn't thought of stamping with paint. I can't wait to try this.

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

It's a lovely technique to play with... don't forget you can try other colours of paint besides white, which gives you endless possibilities and variations. Thanks for your company on this crafty journey.
