Paint resist is always such an effective technique. Great colour combos too! Nice tie in with your top.....I like the look of the sleeves, would love to see the full top - I think it would look fabulous.
Yes, it's a great technique - an oldie but a goodie. I love the weathered, faded look it gives you. The rest of the top is a sort of wrapped bolero type shape... I have it in two colourways (blue-green and blue-blue!), both bought at least 30 years ago, and still favourites. Thank you for your lovely comment and have a great Sunday.
De rien! I'm so happy you've found a new technique to play with, and I hope you'll have lots of fun exploring its possibilities. Merci beaucoup for your lovely comment.
Thank you so much Alison, do you know why I love ❤️ watching you create these amazing and stunningly beautiful tags. Because you are so down to earth and normal too. I absolutely love ❤❤❤❤❤ the tags, you are so inspiring and clever and very very talented too. You’re my kind of person too. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤❤❤
That's a lovely comment to read, thank you... One recent commenter likes me because I'm "weird" and you like me because I'm "down to earth and normal"!! Probably the truth lies somewhere in between... I'm so happy that you are enjoying the artwork and the inspiration here - hope you'll be inspired to have your own few minutes of fun soon.
Wow - wow!!! 😍😍 How beautiful !!!! Such a great work!! I think I have to buy Distress Inks. 😅. Thank you very much for giving us another wonderful lesson! Lovely greetings Helga
They really are very special inks with amazing properties. As you can tell, I love them - in fact, they are responsible for me starting this whole journey into visual art. If you decide to try some out, I would say just start with two or three of your favourite colours. Then if you enjoy working with them, you can start to build your collection. Thank you for your lovely comment, and I hope you have a great weekend.
Hello Alison! I couldn’t wait to say, YAY on your newest release that I just saw on the PaperArtsy Blog… LOVE all three of the Stamp Sets - couldn’t pick a favorite… LOVE all of your samples… read every word and enjoyed every picture! Congratulations! I will look forward to playing with them as soon as they’re available. Have a great day! 🙂
Oh, thank you so much, Sue - I'm delighted you love them! They are already available from PaperArtsy stockists worldwide... just check the list at the foot of the blogpost to find one near you. (Not all PA stockists stock all PA products - so if you have trouble tracking them down, let me know where you are, and I can probably point you in a helpful direction!)
Happy indeed I do so enjoy your bursts of laughter when you achieve a finish you like! Thanks as always for sharing your wonderful creative journey!💙🤎💙🤎💙🤎💙🤎
Oh the possibilities with this technique! You’ve got my mind spinning with ideas! I often use a gel plate as my “stamp pad” when stamping with paint. Then I can also pull a print! So much fun! Thanks for the inspiration!❤❤❤
Great idea with the gel plate as your "pad". The other thing I often do is stamp again on some spare card after spritzing the stamp with water to clean it. You get a lovely soft watery impression... and then you can finish the clean up afterwards. Happy you enjoyed the video - and thanks so much for your lovely comment.
I find it gives me more control for adding the paint than other methods I've tried. It's an old favourite for lots of us as a technique, I know - but it's a goodie!
Absolutely... there are a number of ways to create a resist, and they all give slightly different effects (embossing powder a little glossier, this a little more weathered, and so on). But with no heat tool, this one is still easily achievable. Hope you'll have fun playing with it soon. Thanks so much for your lovely comment.
De rien... I hope you'll enjoy playing as much as watching. Thank you so much for your always lovely comments (and good practice for my French too, thank you!!).
That's great - it's an oldie but a goodie, this technique, and I love the faded, weathered look it gives. Thanks so much for watching and commenting, and I hope you'll have fun playing.
its mesmerizing watching people play with thier colours and that Uncharted Mariner is such a luscious blue thanks Alison for your generous enthusiasm x
Oh, what lovely feedback, thank you. I'm glad to have whiled away your evening, but I hope I didn't cost you too much sleep! Happy you found your way here, and thank you so much for taking the time to comment.
That's delightful feedback to read, thank you so much. I'm really happy you're enjoying the videos, and that you're finding the inspiration infectious - have fun playing!
Yes, there's nothing new about the technique itself - an oldie, but a goodie - and you could definitely get a similar effect with white pigment ink... or indeed any colour of paint. No need for it to be white! Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for commenting.
I love the stamping with the white paint oh my, those lovely combinations! I think the ones with the unchartered mariner were my favorite. Somewhere I saw a piece of art that you did with a spinning round cheese box and your violet stamp set. It came in the mail today and it’s even better than it looks online. I have been looking for 20 years at least for a real good stamp for some wild violets. I got a few, but still not what I wanted. I wanted wild ones! Violets have always been one of my favorites, even as a child. For some reason, I had given up looking. There are not one but 2 violets on the stamp sheet. I’m in heaven. I AM going to find that cheese box. Am I crazy? Did I dream it? Wow, I just found your see it move section on Instagram. Very cool. Hugs, treen 💕💕💕
I'm so happy that you're so happy with your violet stamps!! Absolutely delighted to have solved your 20-year search... I'm grinning from ear to ear as I type this. Glad you found the cheesebox on IG - but it's also here in the Shorts, which is probably where you saw it: th-cam.com/users/shortsgXbGKKE7aAE Happy you like these tags too - it's one of my favourite techniques - an oldie but a goodie! Happy Sunday to you.
Oooh such a beautiful technique. Uncharted mariner is such a great color. I need to get your stamps as an herbalist I make so many herbal inspired books. Culpeper is such a great body of work!! Thank you for sharing and inspiring
I agree completely about Uncharted Mariner... and Culpeper. It does sound as though the botanical stamps would be right up your street! Thank you so much for your lovely comment.
I truly enjoyed your few minutes of fun on this beautiful Saturday morning! Thanks for always sharing such wonderful techniques, with all of us. I have been enjoying myself and have been finally making more use of my inks! Thank you Alison!❤
Oh, that's wonderful to hear... I feel happy on behalf of your inks that they are coming out to play more often!! Thank you so much for another lovely comment, and have a lovely rest-of-weekend.
That's wonderful feedback to read, thank you so much. And yes, you don't need to complete a whole project in one go... by working a few minutes at a time, you can have lots of mixed media fun which will add up to amazing projects before you know it!
Wow, that was fascinating! I really enjoyed watching your process. Thank you for the clear and lovely explanations of your choices. You are so lovely to watch and listen to. Your enthusiasm is infectious! xoxo
What lovely feedback - that's put a big smile on my face. So happy that you are enjoying both the words and the pictures. Thank you so much for watching and commenting.
Excellent tutorial! Beautiful results. I really like that you do the close up of your final artwork and products used. Brilliant. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you - I don't think I can really claim it as "my" technique - though I can't any longer remember where I picked it up along the way (probably Tim Holtz...) but I'm very happy you enjoyed the video. Have fun playing!
Thank you so much for sharing, I knew there was a possibillity with some sort of resist thing, but I didn't know how. Now I know! Now I can try it myself. Thank you for showing how to.
That's great to hear, thank you! The paint resist gives you a lovely subtle effect. You can also use embossing powders, of course (which we'll do one of these days in a Few Minutes of Fun episode too), but they tend to be much more prominent. Have fun playing!
I am new to your channel and love how you show in detail how to finish your project. I learned something new! Your personality shines and I will keep following you. Thank you for sharing your talent.
That's such wonderful feedback - thank you so much. I'm delighted you're enjoying the videos, and so happy to welcome you on board for this creative journey. Thank you for watching, commenting and subscribing.
Oh, that is great to hear. It's the best possible response if someone is inspired to go and have their own few minutes (or hours) of fun! Thank you so much for watching and commenting.
Always a joy learning from your videos. I’ll definitely try this resist technique. Lovely colors and background music. (My studio chair squeaks, so I see I’m in good company!!)
It's a lovely technique - an oldie, but a goodie - I hope you have fun with it. I think I figured out it's one of the shelf sets on the desk squeaking against one of the others... so hopefully I can make sure it doesn't happen next time (if I remember to move it!). Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
These tags look so fabulous. Love how you combined the resist - and the spritz and flick technique which makes such fantastic texture 😎 I forgot about this great resist technique, so thanks for the inspiration, Alison❣️
It's great to be reminded of a good technique, isn't it... and this is one I love - an oldie but a goodie! And yes, that extra spritz and flick is a treat!
Yes, I love that you can have that subtle matte look to the resist. (I enjoy a glossy embossing powder resist too, but this is a different look for a different effect!). Hope you have fun playing - and don't forget you can use other colours besides white, which gives you endless variations and possibilities!
“Indistinctness is my forte.” J.M.W. Turner Thank you for this video and more importantly for turning (yes, cringy pun intended) me onto a Turner painting I had never heard of: Rain, Steam and Speed. It’s brilliant and I love it. I get so much out of your content. Thank you so much. Love the new mid-week ink series as well and I look forward to expanding my knowledge base in all types of ink mediums. ❤ 🎨 🖼️ Cheers from California, USA 🇺🇸
What a truly wonderful Turner quote... thank you so much for sharing that. Happy to have offered up Rain, Steam and Speed to you in return (did I name it correctly - I said Wind instead of Steam I think, maybe, did I?). So happy you are enjoying the videos so much - that's great. "Midweek Inking" has already expanded itself to Craft Supplies Deep Dive, so it will be more than just ink mediums, so I hope you'll enjoy exploring those too. Thank you so much for such a lovely comment.
Thank you so much for the lovely comment, and for the translation... though my French can actually manage that much! Hope you are having a lovely week.
@@w0rdsandp1ctures Great if you speak French well👍I had noticed some expression sometimes but not knowing if you spoke it. It’s simple for me since I am French. Good weekend too 😊
My German is better than my French, but I can cope pretty well in French too (especially when it's written rather than being spoken very quickly!). Sadly both of them are better than my Czech, which is what I need where I'm living now... but I'm working on it!
Thank you... I can't really claim them as "my" techniques - they've been doing the rounds for a while, for the most part, especially thanks to the amazing Tim Holtz - but I do put my own spin on them! Very happy you are enjoying the fun, either way.
Wow. I LOVED this video. Your tags are beautiful and I can’t wait to see them finished at some point in the future. Thank you for sharing your techniques and tips in great detail. You make it look so easy and from one who’s tried to achieve what you just did, I can honestly say it’s not so easy!!
So happy to hear you loved the video, thank you! And yes, when I have an inkling about what the next steps are, I'll certainly turn the camera on to follow the process. I guess I've had a lot of practice at doing it... the more you play, the easier all these techniques become. But it's also partly about accepting the outcomes you get, and embracing the imperfections. One of the things I love about this technique is the faded, weathered look. So could the final Tim Holtz text stamp be clearer within the inking? Yes, of course it could. And if you want to be certain of a really clear resist, you could use clear or white embossing powders instead. (There'll be a video on that one of these days, I'm sure, as it's one of my other favourite ways of creating a resist.) But I love the unpredictability, and the fact that the resist is clearer in some places than others, like it's been worn away by time... and in the end, it's only a background, so perfection is very much unnecessary!!
Hello Alison! I’m up early today so was able to start my day checking out your Few Minutes of Fun video before moving onto the various tasks and things that need doing before my play time can begin. It’s been quite a long while since I’ve played with resist techniques so this was a lovely reminder of that and your tags are just gorgeous! It was also interesting to see the comparison of the inks and sprays using the paint resist technique and to see how vibrant those sprays are more so than the inks which appear more muted. I usually play with one media at a time so playing with more than one type at a time will be another fun thing to add to my growing list of FUN. Thanks again for sharing your creativity and inspiration! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! 🙂
I do find a touch of resist irresistible... happy to have reminded you of some of its delights! Hope you got your tasks done nice and quickly leaving you plenty of time to play. Have a lovely rest-of-weekend!
Thanks, Allison for the reminder about the paint resist technique! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve done this, so I can’t wait to grab my white paint and give it a go, once again! Great weekend to you!
It's an oldie but a goodie - I love the effect of the matte paint resist giving that weathered distressed look. Don't forget to try other colours too, besides white!! Have a great weekend too.
Thank you so much. You can also use any other colour paint, of course, which gives you lots of possibilities and variations. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
There are quite a few Shorts with glimpses of my studio as well as my tag crates, so you can get an idea. But yes, I also enjoy displaying some of them on the shelves so that the space I'm working in is full of inspiration! Thank you so much for your lovely comment.
So you'll have even more ephemera by the time you're done! Happy to have inspired you to fit in some more stamping playtime. Thanks so much for your lovely comment - made me smile!
Stunning color combo. Can’t wait to try this paint resist technique!!! Thanks so much, Alison!
Oh oh oh oh!!! Is my comment to these. Love it when you say that. Greetings from Belgium. Hilde

Lovely technique. Thank you Alison. 💙 🩵 🤎
I always love the results of this technique - an oldie but a goodie. However imperfect they are, they look good!

I have not used paint as a resist before, now I will have to try. Thanks so much!
I love the faded, worn effect you get from it (rather than the full on resist of, say, embossing powder)... hope you'll have fun trying it out.
I so love this technique...I'll be trying this tomorrow morning...thank you for showing us this ❤

You're welcome - happy you like them.
I love the stamping with the white paint oh my, those lovely combinations! I think the ones with the unchartered mariner were my favorite. Somewhere I saw a piece of art that you did with a spinning round cheese box and your violet stamp set. It came in the mail today and it’s even better than it looks online. I have been looking for 20 years at least for a real good stamp for some wild violets. I got a few, but still not what I wanted. I wanted wild ones! Violets have always been one of my favorites, even as a child. For some reason, I had given up looking. There are not one but 2 violets on the stamp sheet. I’m in heaven. I AM going to find that cheese box. Am I crazy? Did I dream it? Wow, I just found your see it move section on Instagram. Very cool. Hugs, treen 💕💕💕
I'm so happy that you're so happy with your violet stamps!! Absolutely delighted to have solved your 20-year search... I'm grinning from ear to ear as I type this. Glad you found the cheesebox on IG - but it's also here in the Shorts, which is probably where you saw it: th-cam.com/users/shortsgXbGKKE7aAE
Happy you like these tags too - it's one of my favourite techniques - an oldie but a goodie! Happy Sunday to you.
I’ve wanted to know how this look was achieved for ages! Thanks Alison! This is so helpful! I’m excited to have a go now lol
Excellent - happy to have quenched your curiosity about the technique... have fun with it - it's a beauty! Thanks for another lovely comment.

I get so much out of your content. Thank you so much. Love the new mid-week ink series as well and I look forward to expanding my knowledge base in all types of ink mediums.

What a truly wonderful Turner quote... thank you so much for sharing that. Happy to have offered up Rain, Steam and Speed to you in return (did I name it correctly - I said Wind instead of Steam I think, maybe, did I?). So happy you are enjoying the videos so much - that's great. "Midweek Inking" has already expanded itself to Craft Supplies Deep Dive, so it will be more than just ink mediums, so I hope you'll enjoy exploring those too.
Thank you so much for such a lovely comment.
So beautiful, every time i love your colors 💙 "que du bonheur" de vous voir travailler --> only happiness to see you work
Thank you so much for the lovely comment, and for the translation... though my French can actually manage that much! Hope you are having a lovely week.
@@w0rdsandp1ctures Great if you speak French well👍I had noticed some expression sometimes but not knowing if you spoke it. It’s simple for me since I am French. Good weekend too 😊
My German is better than my French, but I can cope pretty well in French too (especially when it's written rather than being spoken very quickly!). Sadly both of them are better than my Czech, which is what I need where I'm living now... but I'm working on it!
Gorgeous love love 😊
Thank you!
Hello! I really enjoy this technique, thank you for sharing!
That's great to know - thanks so much for taking the time to comment.
Love your techniques!!!
Thank you... I can't really claim them as "my" techniques - they've been doing the rounds for a while, for the most part, especially thanks to the amazing Tim Holtz - but I do put my own spin on them! Very happy you are enjoying the fun, either way.
Such breathtaking results! Will have to try this technique. :)
Hope you'll have fun with it... thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comment. I'm so happy you are inspired to play!
AGAIN ANOTHER AMAZING VIDEO!!
Thank you so much - happy you're enjoying them!
Thank you for this tutorial. I love it and can’t wait to try it!
Great - I hope you'll have fun playing! Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
Love the first two when they are all laid out together at the end. Deliciously grunge and gorgeous thank you for sharing
So happy you enjoyed it - thanks so much for watching and commenting.
Love it ❤ Thank you ☺️
So happy you enjoyed it - you're very welcome!
Wow. I LOVED this video. Your tags are beautiful and I can’t wait to see them finished at some point in the future. Thank you for sharing your techniques and tips in great detail. You make it look so easy and from one who’s tried to achieve what you just did, I can honestly say it’s not so easy!!
So happy to hear you loved the video, thank you! And yes, when I have an inkling about what the next steps are, I'll certainly turn the camera on to follow the process.
I guess I've had a lot of practice at doing it... the more you play, the easier all these techniques become. But it's also partly about accepting the outcomes you get, and embracing the imperfections.
One of the things I love about this technique is the faded, weathered look. So could the final Tim Holtz text stamp be clearer within the inking? Yes, of course it could. And if you want to be certain of a really clear resist, you could use clear or white embossing powders instead. (There'll be a video on that one of these days, I'm sure, as it's one of my other favourite ways of creating a resist.)
But I love the unpredictability, and the fact that the resist is clearer in some places than others, like it's been worn away by time... and in the end, it's only a background, so perfection is very much unnecessary!!
@@w0rdsandp1ctures I tried. Few tags and they turned out great. I tried your techniques. They aren’t as beautiful as yours but I like them
That's great... and as long as you had some fun along the way, I'd say that's the most important thing!
Such beautiful tags.I love the soft look you achieve when blending the inks. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
Happy you like them - it's a favourite technique of mine... an oldie but a goodie! Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
EXCELLENT ❤❤❤
Thank you very much - happy you enjoyed it.
Love watching you create beautiful art work. Gathering lots of tips and tricks along the way. TY💜💜
That's so great to hear - thank you for such a lovely comment.
Hello Alison! I’m up early today so was able to start my day checking out your Few Minutes of Fun video before moving onto the various tasks and things that need doing before my play time can begin. It’s been quite a long while since I’ve played with resist techniques so this was a lovely reminder of that and your tags are just gorgeous! It was also interesting to see the comparison of the inks and sprays using the paint resist technique and to see how vibrant those sprays are more so than the inks which appear more muted. I usually play with one media at a time so playing with more than one type at a time will be another fun thing to add to my growing list of FUN. Thanks again for sharing your creativity and inspiration! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! 🙂
I do find a touch of resist irresistible... happy to have reminded you of some of its delights! Hope you got your tasks done nice and quickly leaving you plenty of time to play. Have a lovely rest-of-weekend!
Just ordered your new PaperArtsy stamps ❤
Oh, how lovely - I hope you'll have a wonderful time playing with them.
Beautiful thank you for sharing
You're very welcome - thanks for taking the time to comment, much appreciated.
Thanks, Allison for the reminder about the paint resist technique! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve done this, so I can’t wait to grab my white paint and give it a go, once again! Great weekend to you!
It's an oldie but a goodie - I love the effect of the matte paint resist giving that weathered distressed look. Don't forget to try other colours too, besides white!! Have a great weekend too.
Thank you Alison! Didn’t know of this technique, will definitely give it a try.
It's such a great way to create a resist... hope you'll have fun playing.
Soooooo amazingly awesome
Thank you so much - it's a great technique - an oldie but a goodie!
Those tags turned out beautiful. I love the idea of white paint as a resist. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much. You can also use any other colour paint, of course, which gives you lots of possibilities and variations. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
Terrific video. I have now subscribed 😊🇦🇺
That's great - welcome! So happy you're enjoying the videos. Thank you for watching, commenting and subscribing.
I would love to see how you store/display all these wonderful creations! It seems like you could have your own museum!
There are quite a few Shorts with glimpses of my studio as well as my tag crates, so you can get an idea. But yes, I also enjoy displaying some of them on the shelves so that the space I'm working in is full of inspiration! Thank you so much for your lovely comment.
Really neat!❤
