Lost Art Cards and Designs

No Kraft Resist Paper in my craft room presented an opportunity to experiment as well as a self challenge to see if I could recreate something similar.  In the picture below you will see 5 tags, all experimental, trying to make my own version of Kraft Resist Paper so I could continue with the class lessons.  The tags on the left were made by adding Distress Ink Stain to the Neenah Desert Storm Kraft Paper tag, and stamping with a Distress Ink Embossing Pad or a Perfect Medium Pad and then heat setting it. I liked the results of this method the best.  The middle tag was stained, then stamped with Distress Ink Embossing Pad, and then heat set after applying Wow Clear Glossy Embossing Powder.  The two tags on the right were first stamped with Perfect Medium, then stained , and heat set.  Nearly imperceptible, some of the stamped images did come through very slightly after heat setting.  This might be a way to bring out a subtle background effect using stain.
