Hello Everyone
Amanda (ink-a-pink) here to welcome and introduce you to our new challenge here at A Vintage Journey. The chosen theme this time is
How Can You Resist?
There are many different products in mixed media that you can use to do a resist technique - gesso, distress glaze, wax, embossing powder, etc. We would like you to use at least one resist technique on your vintage, shabby, mixed media, art journaling, industrial, timeworn or steampunk project.
Lets take a look at the 'resist' projects some of our talented Creative Guides have created. Be sure to click on the links each Guide has provided to find out more details about the creativity behind each project.
Amanda
For this challenge I have created a mixed media canvas in 'shades of blue' using 3 different products for the 'resist' techniques- two old favourites and one definite new favourite! Interested to know more? Then please hop on over to my ink-a-pink.
Brenda
A shabby mixed media board from me which came about when I was asked to take a workshop with some lovely ladies at a local church group. They all made their own version in 2 hours (with a little prepping from me to help out). I just wish I had been able to take photos of their finished pieces.

I explored several resist techniques on my 'Follow Your Heart' mixed media canvas for Amanda's wonderful challenge this month, including the use of embossing powder, acrylic paint and gesso to resist distress inks and stains. Pop by my blog for a step by step tutorial and hope you won't be able to resist joining in our challenge this month!
Autumn
For Amanda's wonderful theme, I made a stencil from a Tim Holtz die cut and created a 'resist' for my Paper Artsy Infusions. I mixed in some tissue paper stamping to complete these mixed media pages in my little handmade journal. Get all the details at SewPaperPaint.com
It's just a little mini at 3"x 3" but it's amazing how many different resist techniques one can find space for! If you would like to see how many different techniques I managed to achieve for Amanda's wonderful challenge, then do hop on over and join me at Live the Dream.

I've gone for a gesso resist to create the background for this pair of grungy tags. Do come over to Words and Pictures to check out all the details
