Friend Resist card

This card is tons of fun to make.  It is using a realy cool form of resist.  I used pearlescent medium to get the background to look splotchy.  In real life, it's shiney too.  I started with a piece of white glossy cardstock.  I sponged the medium onto the paper with a sea sponge.  Do it sparenly, this area will remain white.  Then I brayered over it with a Big N' Juicy inkpad.  The collage image is stamped with Archical ink in Jet Black. 

Pearlescent Medium is tricky to find if you don't know where to look.  I have always used Golden brand and it used to be available at Michaels & JoAnns.  They don't carry Golden brand anymore.  You can still get it at your local art store.  It's a bit pricey, so you can go with a lesser brand if you want.  I have found both DecoArt & Americana at JoAnns & Michaels. It's under $4.  I also like to mix mine with my re-inkers for a beautiful spatkle.
