Stamp Man Challenge 21 - Resist


This week the Stamp Man are asking for a Resist technique.  I decided to make a set of cog stamps from t!ms alteration dies.  Painted them with lake mist acrylic dabbers and stamped them onto a tag which I had primed with antique linen distress stain.  Once dry I applied a blend of old paper, rusty hinge, tea dye and black soot distress inks.  I misted a piece of kitchen towel and wiped the ink off the resist areas.  I stamped various images in black soot.  Added a couple of cardboard cog die cuts and some fibres.  I used a paper distresser to distress the edges and inked with rusty hinge.
