Double (and triple) layer resist

Over at TwoPeas, Jennifer McGuire continues her Holiday Thinking Inking classes.  One of the techniques she teaches us this week is called double layer resist: stamping with versamark on glossy white paper to begin, then adding distress ink in a lighter color, stamping a 2nd image in versamark and adding a darker ink on top of that.  So that's what I tried on these cards:

For the first one I stamped small snowflakes all over the glossy paper, then sponged on tumbled glass distress ink.  After heating to make sure it was dried, I stamped a large snowflake several times and sponged over faded jeans distress ink, again heating to dry it.  Then I overstamped the script here and there in faded jeans.  The trees were white embossed on white glossy cardstock, sponged with peeled paint distress ink and then dipped in glitter.

On this one I tried the same technique and did 3 layers, using the flourish background and tumbled glass for the first layer, the same big snowflake and faded jeans for the second, and a couple smaller snowflakes and dusty concord ink for the third layer.  I popped the negative image of a diecut snowflake (overstamped with script) over a blue cardstock square, and centered that over the inked background.
