Glue Resist Background

Hello all!

Kristie from Kristie Kreates here today.

I recently learned a new technique for creating a background

and I thought I'd share it with y'all.

The "glue resist" technique is pretty easy

and a little different than any I've seen before.

Pick out a stamp that you'd like for a background and

rub a glue stick over the image.

Stamp it onto card stock.  I chose to use white.

Once it is stamped, heat it with a heating tool

or let it set for a good long time to be sure the glue is dried.

Now using a blending tool and ink,

I use Tim Holtz Distress Ink,

rub ink over the entire surface.

 

Using a baby wipe or a damp cloth rub the glue off.

Now you have a nice background to use on a card

or other project.

Be sure to clean that stamp with some

stamp cleaner or a mild soap and water.

 

If you'd like to see how I used this background,

pop over to my blog and check it out at

Thanks for stopping by today. 

 I hope you'll try this technique, it's fun and

a great way to create something a little different

for your cards and projects.

 

Until next month, have fun creating!
