Kraft resist Wendy style

It's back!  Time to start the Making Art! challenges for 2012 over on the EWV Yahoo group.  Our illustrious list mom has chosen to try one of the techniques Tim Holtz used on his second tag in this year's 12 Tags of Christmas.  Tim has his own line of Kraft resist paper but it's easy enough to make your own.  Stamp your background image on kraft paper using Jet Black Archival Ink.  Next, stamp your resist image(s) using clear embossing ink and powder.  Heat to melt.  Once you cover your paper with other inks, the resist images will pop out.  Just be careful to not choose too dark an ink for coverage or your background image will disappear.

This is not #8 tag but the larger one.  It fits Wendy's spool/thread background wonderfully.
