Resist technique class with Gretchen Pearson-$18
Scanning and photographing this technique does not do justice to all the layers and the subtlety of the stampings and inks. Using resist inks on glossy card stock, and then applying dye inks to make the resisted areas show is a technique that has been around a long time. I will show you how to apply those dye inks and additional stamping to give it depth and movement."

Mica inks class with Gretchen Pearson-$20

Learn which ones work best for different designs, and find a new use for the reinkers that you no longer use.
