Resist

	Pale or White coloured card	Versamark or other clear ink pad
	Coloured dye ink pad or waterbased paint	Clear Embossing Powder
	Heat Embossing Tool

	For a basic resist look, stamp with clear embossing ink and emboss with clear embossing powder on a piece of white card. The image won't look much at this point.
	To create the resist effect, colour over the top of these clear embossed images (over the entire piece of card) with a coloured ink, use a brayer, direct to paper technique or even watercolours or textas. With the colour over the top, your white image will stand out beautifully. You may want to wipe any stray ink from the top of the embossed image - just to neaten up the look of the whole piece.
	Once you have mastered the basics there are a few things you can try: Stamping with coloured embossing ink and colouring card with complimentary, tones or opposite colours. The resist is not so stark, a more subtle (depending on the colours you use) look.
	Use sparkly embossing powder.
	Joseph's Coat Technique. Use rainbow pads to ink image, stamp on white card and emboss with clear EP. Brayer or colour over top with black or dark coloured ink - gives a rainbow image for your resist. This is really pretty and works best with stamps that have a lot of blocked in (solid) areas.
