Make It Monday #32: Stamping with Acrylic Paint Inspiration Showcase- Day #1

Hello Everyone!  

Today was the beginning of Inspiration Showcase, an online card class by Jennifer McGuire.  I hope you are getting to learn some new techniques along with me in this fabulous class.  The first day was all about the wide variety of resist techniques; one of which was called Paint Resist using acrylic paint instead of ink.  (A technique I had never tried)  

Then I found today's MIM and had already been stamping with my acrylics!  So here is my first go at this very interesting technique.

The background is stamped with cream colored acrylic paint on white cardstock.  After thorough drying, I sponged on several different distress inks to create my fall color palette.  Interestingly, I was instructed to use a slightly damp cloth to remove the distress ink from the acrylic stamping.  I misted a paper towel with water, and dabbed more than rubbed, but was amazed that it did not smear.  I was very happy with the result.  There is more acrylic paint stamped on the center leaf but no resist was used there.
