Ranger Spotlight: Watermark Resist Ink

 
Today we’ll be shining a spotlight on Ranger’s Inkssentials Watermark Resist Ink pad, a product that maybe doesn’t always get the attention it deserves, but is truly awesome nonetheless! We’ve recently received some inquiries regarding techniques for using Watermark Resist, so we thought this would be a fun opportunity to show off all the great things that can be done with this clever little ink pad!

In this video, Ranger’s Marketing Coordinator Patti Behan demonstrates how you can use Watermark Resist to create many different and interesting effects. It can be used as a resist ink on gloss paper, or use it to create a watermarked image on dark colored papers. Did you know that Watermark Resist is an excellent ink for embossing as well? You can even use Watermark Resist to make incredibly beautiful multi-colored backgrounds for all your card-making and scrapbooking needs!

Artist and Ranger Signature Designer Claudine Hellmuth has her own unique take on the possibilities available with the Watermark Resist pad, too! In this video from the CHA Winter 2009 show, Claudine demonstrates a great technique using Watermark Resist in conjunction with her Studio Sticky-Back Canvas and Studio Paints.

And in this video from CHA Summer 2009, Claudine takes her technique to the next level by fashioning a gorgeous necklace from the resist image! Too clever or what?

If you’re just dying to get your hands inky, Lisa Dixon has created two project tutorials featuring beautiful cards with sweet sentiments, both of which employ techniques using the Inkssentials Watermark Resist Pad!

“I Love You” card.

“For You” card.

We hope you’ve enjoyed this look at the Watermark Resist pad. It’s simply ir-resist-able, is it not? ;-) (Sorry, we just couldn’t resist…. Hee hee!)

Which Ranger product would you like to see featured in our next “Ranger Spotlight” post? Perhaps you’d like to know more about techniques that can be done with an Inky Roller, or with Perfect Pearls, or with Glossy Accents? Let us know in the comments!

Always great to see any of the Ranger products demod as your designers always come up with ideas that we wouldn't necessarily think of using a product for.

Love love love this technique on the sticky back canvas!!! I've gotta pick up one of these pads now to try it! I've only ever done this type of resist on canvas with heat embossing and this opens up more possiblities! Thanks for posting these great tips!

Thank you for sharing your techniques. I like the using the resist! I also really enjoy using my perfect pearls. I imagine there's much more I can do with them than I already do. So that would be great if you could spotlight Perfect Pearls.
