It’s Wednesday and time for the funkie side of the design team to share our projects for the current challenge over at the Frilly and Funkie Challenge Blog!
The current challenge is hosted by team member Autumn, who has chosen the theme DARE TO RESIST …Autumn says, “For the next two weeks, as we break away from our Valentine creations, we’d love to see you incorporate a favorite resist technique in your vintage or shabby chic project. There are so many options, perhaps you will try something new. Whether it be gesso resist, Vaseline resist, alcohol resist, embossing resist, or watercolor resist, we dare you to resist!”
This challenge was the perfectly timed with the arrival of the new distress resist spray by Tim Holtz. Since seeing this announced on facebook LIVE, I have been dying to get my hands on a bottle to try out and I can tell you now, it’s AMAZING!!
Firstly it’s really important to use a box when spraying as this stuff sticks to everything. I have a collapsible spray box that I bought years ago, but you could use any cardboard box.
I went for a concentrated spray by squeezing the spray trigger really slowly, releasing bigger drops rather than a fine spray. I blasted with my heat tool (because I’m impatient). I then sprayed the background with frayed burlap distress spray and dried. I added a single spray of broken china distress spray to the center of the tag for a pop of colour!
Using the stamp platform I laid out stamps from the new Merchant stamp set (CMS331). I LOVE how the puddleds of resist resist the number stamps too!
I added a gadget gear which I grunged up using grit paste and distress crayon, a paper doll coloured with distress markers, quote chips, an adornment star altered with fire brick distress paint and several die cuts from the new Tim Holtz thinlits pocket frame!
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you will find time to join in the challenge and pop over to Frilly and Funkie challenge blog to see the rest of the DT’s projects. All the products I used are available from The Funkie Junkie Boutique.

Zoe,
I’m so grateful that I am able to see the awesome projects you are posting. I hope to attempt them in my own way and I love your ideas.
You are very talented and I appreciate you.
That pop of blue! Yowza! It just draws the eye right to the heart of your tag. What a fabulous technique! So many gorgeous layers, just the right pops of color and a totally dreamy background. I can’t resist!
Oh, yes, this speaks to me! I am loving the results you all are getting with the resist spray (so sad I can’t get my hands on it yet!). Your colors are so dramatic, especially that bold pop of blue centrally, and your layout is just perfect! Always love your work, Zoe! Hugs!
What a great tag and tutorial! Love those two color combinations and how the resist spray is used! Fabulous!
Fabulous tag with great colours. You make the best projects that can be used for the fellows and this beauty fits the bill.
I honestly couldn’t wait to see what you did and totally expected it to be an awesome use of this new spray. 🙂 You didn’t disappoint and I’m so inspired and in awe of this cool tag! Love those blobs! Hugs, Autumn
I have always loved your art! You colour choices are my colour choices. Always Stay Curious, of course, if you don’t you will never learn anything new 🙂
Hope it’s nice where you are, we are supposed to get snow, not much, but still snow! YUCK I can’t wait for Spring.
I want some of that resist spray too, but still nothing here.
fabulous Zoe! I hope to get some of that resist spray, especially after seeing your tag, love how the colors and resisted areas create such visual interest!
This is awesome Zoe! TFS!
Love this so much! Those pops of red are wonderful!
Oooh, loving this tag Zoe, the Resist Spray looks amazing and creates some wonderful texture. And what better colours than red, turquoise and brown, they look wonderful together! Hugs, Anne xx
pretty fantastic Zoe – the pops of red are my favorite!
Fantastic! After seeing your and Jenny’s project I am going to get my hands on some of this resist spray. I love your splatters, colors and inky goodness! Fabulous tag!
