I did this resist technique last week and it worked great. I used a Ranger
Clear Resist ink pad (I think the Versamark pad should work too) on the
rubber stamp image and stamped it on chrome coat (glossy) card stock . Then
I rolled a hard rubber brayer over a dye ink pad (Big and Juicy) several
times to get it real wet and them rolled it back and forth over the stamped
image on the chrome coat. I didn't heat set the stamped image at all.

Another look using watercolor paper. Cover the rubber stamp with clear
pigment ink and stamp it on the paper, then sprinkle clear embossing powder
over that and heat set. Using your watercolor inks make a wash to quickly
brush over the paper. Three complementary colors look nice and will give it
a rainbow effect. Hope this don't confuse you. Good luck. It's only paper
so play.
Just another stamper.

I need some help. I am trying to do the resist technique with a versamark
pad but am having very little success. I am using gloss card and stamping
with my versamark, i then heat set it and brushed my colour over the top
hoping the stamp wouldn't take the colour. I have been left with a messy
piece of card. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
