SC189 Asian Birthday

I love wide open spaces to showcase techniques and larger stamps, so today's sketch was perfect for these Innovative Stamp Creations images.  This is a Tim Holtz technique called Acrylic Resist I believe.  I started with vanilla cardstock and stamped the asian symbol background in white acrylic paint.  When dry, I spritzed with a mixture of distress reinkers/water/perfect pearls.  Here's the colors I used:  Faded Jeans/pearl pp's, Tea Dye/pearl, Shabby Shutters with a couple drops of Pine Needles/pearl.  I am too impatient for the saturated paper to dry, so ironing is a quick alternative.  The main image was stamped in Versafine Onyx Black and highlighted with copic markers.  The cool ribbon fasteners are by 7gypsies, aren't they neato?  The edges of the main image panel were scraped with an old toothbrush loaded with Versafine Vintage Sepia ink.  Hope you like it, have a great Wednesday!
