Remarkable Resist

Hey there!  I'm here to share my Remarkable Resist cards for today.  I tried a couple different methods, and I'll tell you what worked the best for me.  I was super excited to try this method.  I had heard the word "resist," but I honestly didn't know exactly how it worked or what to do.  The method is simple, and the video made it easy to follow.  I am a newbie at heat embossing, so it's always a bit of remembering what to do when, but I had a lot of fun playing around with this!

I had a lot of fun embossing with these fun colors of ink+clear embossing powder.  I loved how it looked...until I added ink over it for the resist.  I don't have distress inks like the video showed, so I just used my pigments and really don't love it.  It's not awful, but not my favorite.  If the ink was lighter and less smudgy it would be better.  Different ink types on my wish list now. :)

This time I used a cheap craZy art set of watercolors instead of inks.  I really like how it blended well, and am excited to try this method again.  I think for a Christmas card green paint would work better because it won't fade into pink.  This also created an awesome ombre look from yesterday's camp activity!

After looking at the other submission, I really wanted to give it one more try.  I love the third card I made.  I love how happy and artsy it turned out.  I'm not a huge fan how the watercolor stuck to the top of the embossing and made it look a little splotchy.  I wiped it off gently with a wipe after the picture, and it looks slightly better.  Still love this look.  Once again I used the inks and stamps from the first card, and the watercolors of the third card.  Great combo!

Alright...so later in the evening I decided to try one more method.  And I LOVE how it turned out.  Here is my successful try!

After all that crafting, I'm famished! Off to the mess hall for an afternoon snack!
