- A Few Minutes of Fun
In this series you can join me at the craft table once a week for a few minutes of art and craft creativity - between ten and twenty minutes usually, depending what we're playing with.
Today I'm playing with a favourite technique of mine - using paint as a resist to create texture within a background. I'm stamping with paint (we'll look at using stencils another time) - including tips about looking after your stamps - and using different ink formulations over the top.

Great tutorial! I love your videos, they are not too short, not too long and get the process explained clearly. Thank you!!
That's great feedback, thank you so much - delighted to hear they are hitting the mark for you! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Oh the possibilities with this technique! You’ve got my mind spinning with ideas! I often use a gel plate as my “stamp pad” when stamping with paint. Then I can also pull a print! So much fun! Thanks for the inspiration!❤❤❤
Great idea with the gel plate as your "pad". The other thing I often do is stamp again on some spare card after spritzing the stamp with water to clean it. You get a lovely soft watery impression... and then you can finish the clean up afterwards.
Happy you enjoyed the video - and thanks so much for your lovely comment.
Happy indeed I do so enjoy your bursts of laughter when you achieve a finish you like! Thanks as always for sharing your wonderful creative journey!💙🤎💙🤎💙🤎💙🤎
Thank you for that lovely feedback. Yes, there was a very good moment in this one... you can tell I was having fun!!
its mesmerizing watching people play with thier colours and that Uncharted Mariner is such a luscious blue thanks Alison for your generous enthusiasm x
What lovely feedback, thank you for that! I couldn't agree more about Uncharted Mariner... I love it! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Allison I just love your style is crafting. lol stayed up late last night watching a bunch of your previous videos. I’m hooked. ❤thank you
Oh, what lovely feedback, thank you. I'm glad to have whiled away your evening, but I hope I didn't cost you too much sleep! Happy you found your way here, and thank you so much for taking the time to comment.
LOVE LOVE LOVE watching all these techniques! It is so fun to hear the excitement in your voice, and it is ever so contagious! TYFS
That's delightful feedback to read, thank you so much. I'm really happy you're enjoying the videos, and that you're finding the inspiration infectious - have fun playing!
I truly enjoyed your few minutes of fun on this beautiful Saturday morning! Thanks for always sharing such wonderful techniques, with all of us. I have been enjoying myself and have been finally making more use of my inks! Thank you Alison!❤
Oh, that's wonderful to hear... I feel happy on behalf of your inks that they are coming out to play more often!! Thank you so much for another lovely comment, and have a lovely rest-of-weekend.
I would love to see how you store/display all these wonderful creations! It seems like you could have your own museum!
There are quite a few Shorts with glimpses of my studio as well as my tag crates, so you can get an idea. But yes, I also enjoy displaying some of them on the shelves so that the space I'm working in is full of inspiration! Thank you so much for your lovely comment.
You are seriously the most interesting RUclipsr for journaling. I just discovered your videos and am hooked! Thanks for what you do!
That's such wonderful feedback to read - thank you so much! Delighted you are enjoying the videos.
I was today years old when I realized that I have a serious infatuation with spritz and flick ASMR
Yes!
That's hilarious! An extra treat for you... happy to hear it!!
I love a good spritz and flick too, I think it's my signature technique.
You’ve made my day with this! These are the exact colors and things I wanted to learn how to do!
I'm so happy to hear that - always wonderful to make someone's day! Glad you found your way here, and I hope you'll enjoy lots more minutes of fun here on the channel. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
These tags look so fabulous. Love how you combined the resist - and the spritz and flick technique which makes such fantastic texture 😎 I forgot about this great resist technique, so thanks for the inspiration, Alison❣️
It's great to be reminded of a good technique, isn't it... and this is one I love - an oldie but a goodie! And yes, that extra spritz and flick is a treat!
Four delightful tags, I love them! Always a good reminder to stamp for the resist!💕🇨🇦
I love the effect of a paint resist - happy you do too!
@@w0rdsandp1ctures 👍🏼💕
Paint resist is always such an effective technique. Great colour combos too! Nice tie in with your top.....I like the look of the sleeves, would love to see the full top - I think it would look fabulous.
Yes, it's a great technique - an oldie but a goodie. I love the weathered, faded look it gives you. The rest of the top is a sort of wrapped bolero type shape... I have it in two colourways (blue-green and blue-blue!), both bought at least 30 years ago, and still favourites.
Thank you for your lovely comment and have a great Sunday.
“Indistinctness is my forte.” J.M.W. Turner
Thank you for this video and more importantly for turning (yes, cringy pun intended) me onto a Turner painting I had never heard of: Rain, Steam and Speed. It’s brilliant and I love it.
I get so much out of your content. Thank you so much. Love the new mid-week ink series as well and I look forward to expanding my knowledge base in all types of ink mediums.
❤ 🎨 🖼️ Cheers from California, USA 🇺🇸
What a truly wonderful Turner quote... thank you so much for sharing that. Happy to have offered up Rain, Steam and Speed to you in return (did I name it correctly - I said Wind instead of Steam I think, maybe, did I?). So happy you are enjoying the videos so much - that's great. "Midweek Inking" has already expanded itself to Craft Supplies Deep Dive, so it will be more than just ink mediums, so I hope you'll enjoy exploring those too.
Thank you so much for such a lovely comment.
Excellent tutorial! Beautiful results. I really like that you do the close up of your final artwork and products used. Brilliant. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you so much for this lovely feedback... I'm delighted you are enjoying the videos here.
im learning so much from this great videos. they are short enough for me to realize i do have time for all this wonderful mixed media. so thanks!
That's wonderful feedback to read, thank you so much. And yes, you don't need to complete a whole project in one go... by working a few minutes at a time, you can have lots of mixed media fun which will add up to amazing projects before you know it!
Just beautiful. I love your style and color usage. Thank you for sharing your process.Vicki
So happy to read such a lovely comment - thank you.
Happy start of my Saturday with coffee and watching you create these beautiful tags. 🤩
So happy to kick off your weekend well - thanks so much for taking the time to let me know.
Such beautiful tags.I love the soft look you achieve when blending the inks. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
Happy you like them - it's a favourite technique of mine... an oldie but a goodie! Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
I do enjoy someone else having a play, it’s relaxing to watch! TFS
That's lovely to hear, thank you!
@@w0rdsandp1ctures you’re very welcome😁😁
Thanks, Allison for the reminder about the paint resist technique! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve done this, so I can’t wait to grab my white paint and give it a go, once again! Great weekend to you!
It's an oldie but a goodie - I love the effect of the matte paint resist giving that weathered distressed look. Don't forget to try other colours too, besides white!! Have a great weekend too.
Hello Alison! I couldn’t wait to say, YAY on your newest release that I just saw on the PaperArtsy Blog… LOVE all three of the Stamp Sets - couldn’t pick a favorite… LOVE all of your samples… read every word and enjoyed every picture! Congratulations! I will look forward to playing with them as soon as they’re available. Have a great day! 🙂
Oh, thank you so much, Sue - I'm delighted you love them! They are already available from PaperArtsy stockists worldwide... just check the list at the foot of the blogpost to find one near you. (Not all PA stockists stock all PA products - so if you have trouble tracking them down, let me know where you are, and I can probably point you in a helpful direction!)
Those tags turned out beautiful. I love the idea of white paint as a resist. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much. You can also use any other colour paint, of course, which gives you lots of possibilities and variations. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
Such subtle, beautiful backgrounds. Your color combinations are beautiful. 😊
Thank you so much for your lovely comment.
Love the way how you add paint to the stamps! Great to see a new trick! And of course super effects all round! xx
I find it gives me more control for adding the paint than other methods I've tried. It's an old favourite for lots of us as a technique, I know - but it's a goodie!
Merci beaucoup ces quelques minutes créatives, j'ai appris une nouvelle technique aujourd'hui et j'ai adoré !
De rien! I'm so happy you've found a new technique to play with, and I hope you'll have lots of fun exploring its possibilities. Merci beaucoup for your lovely comment.
Fantastic idea!!! Especially great for those who don’t have embossing powders and heat gun.
Absolutely... there are a number of ways to create a resist, and they all give slightly different effects (embossing powder a little glossier, this a little more weathered, and so on). But with no heat tool, this one is still easily achievable. Hope you'll have fun playing with it soon. Thanks so much for your lovely comment.
This technique (and the stamps) is magnificent and I enjoyed this video tremendously. Thanks for your enthusiasm and the tutorial.❤❤😊
So happy to hear you enjoyed it all so much - that's fabulous to hear. I read your lovely comment with a big smile on my face, thank you!
I love these techniques! Definitely going to add these to my mixed media toolbox. Thanks for sharing. 😍
That's great - it's an oldie but a goodie, this technique, and I love the faded, weathered look it gives. Thanks so much for watching and commenting, and I hope you'll have fun playing.
I love the stamping with the white paint oh my, those lovely combinations! I think the ones with the unchartered mariner were my favorite. Somewhere I saw a piece of art that you did with a spinning round cheese box and your violet stamp set. It came in the mail today and it’s even better than it looks online. I have been looking for 20 years at least for a real good stamp for some wild violets. I got a few, but still not what I wanted. I wanted wild ones! Violets have always been one of my favorites, even as a child. For some reason, I had given up looking. There are not one but 2 violets on the stamp sheet. I’m in heaven. I AM going to find that cheese box. Am I crazy? Did I dream it? Wow, I just found your see it move section on Instagram. Very cool. Hugs, treen 💕💕💕
I'm so happy that you're so happy with your violet stamps!! Absolutely delighted to have solved your 20-year search... I'm grinning from ear to ear as I type this. Glad you found the cheesebox on IG - but it's also here in the Shorts, which is probably where you saw it: ruclips.net/user/shortsgXbGKKE7aAE
Happy you like these tags too - it's one of my favourite techniques - an oldie but a goodie! Happy Sunday to you.
I so love this technique...I'll be trying this tomorrow morning...thank you for showing us this ❤
Oh, that's great to hear! I hope you'll have lots of fun with it. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
I am new to your channel and love how you show in detail how to finish your project. I learned something new! Your personality shines and I will keep following you. Thank you for sharing your talent.
That's such wonderful feedback - thank you so much. I'm delighted you're enjoying the videos, and so happy to welcome you on board for this creative journey. Thank you for watching, commenting and subscribing.
These are beautiful. I hadn't thought of stamping with paint. I can't wait to try this.
It's a lovely technique to play with... don't forget you can try other colours of paint besides white, which gives you endless possibilities and variations. Thanks for your company on this crafty journey.
Wow. I LOVED this video. Your tags are beautiful and I can’t wait to see them finished at some point in the future. Thank you for sharing your techniques and tips in great detail. You make it look so easy and from one who’s tried to achieve what you just did, I can honestly say it’s not so easy!!
So happy to hear you loved the video, thank you! And yes, when I have an inkling about what the next steps are, I'll certainly turn the camera on to follow the process.
I guess I've had a lot of practice at doing it... the more you play, the easier all these techniques become. But it's also partly about accepting the outcomes you get, and embracing the imperfections.
One of the things I love about this technique is the faded, weathered look. So could the final Tim Holtz text stamp be clearer within the inking? Yes, of course it could. And if you want to be certain of a really clear resist, you could use clear or white embossing powders instead. (There'll be a video on that one of these days, I'm sure, as it's one of my other favourite ways of creating a resist.)
But I love the unpredictability, and the fact that the resist is clearer in some places than others, like it's been worn away by time... and in the end, it's only a background, so perfection is very much unnecessary!!
@@w0rdsandp1ctures I tried. Few tags and they turned out great. I tried your techniques. They aren’t as beautiful as yours but I like them
That's great... and as long as you had some fun along the way, I'd say that's the most important thing!
These are just beautiful. I loved the effect of the spritz and flick at the end. ❤❤❤
Yes, that final touch of extra texture is a real treat, isn't it? Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
Always a joy learning from your videos. I’ll definitely try this resist technique. Lovely colors and background music. (My studio chair squeaks, so I see I’m in good company!!)
It's a lovely technique - an oldie, but a goodie - I hope you have fun with it. I think I figured out it's one of the shelf sets on the desk squeaking against one of the others... so hopefully I can make sure it doesn't happen next time (if I remember to move it!). Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
Oooh such a beautiful technique. Uncharted mariner is such a great color. I need to get your stamps as an herbalist I make so many herbal inspired books. Culpeper is such a great body of work!! Thank you for sharing and inspiring
I agree completely about Uncharted Mariner... and Culpeper. It does sound as though the botanical stamps would be right up your street! Thank you so much for your lovely comment.
What an amazing technique. This is my first video from your channel. I'm really excited to learn from you. Thank you for amazing inspiration
So happy you found your way here... welcome! Great to hear that you are inspired by what you've been watching.
You have so given me the inspiration I needed in this video! I have just found your amazing journey!! So thankyou!💕 from another Alison xx
Oh, that is great to hear. It's the best possible response if someone is inspired to go and have their own few minutes (or hours) of fun! Thank you so much for watching and commenting.
A new process for me and I love them! They’re just perfect!
Thank you so much - it's a lovely technique so I hope you'll have fun playing. (Just make sure to clean those stamps quickly!)
Thank you so much for sharing, I knew there was a possibillity with some sort of resist thing, but I didn't know how. Now I know! Now I can try it myself. Thank you for showing how to.
That's great to hear, thank you! The paint resist gives you a lovely subtle effect. You can also use embossing powders, of course (which we'll do one of these days in a Few Minutes of Fun episode too), but they tend to be much more prominent. Have fun playing!
Wow - wow!!! 😍😍 How beautiful !!!!
Such a great work!! I think I have to buy Distress Inks. 😅. Thank you very much for giving us another wonderful lesson!
Lovely greetings Helga
They really are very special inks with amazing properties. As you can tell, I love them - in fact, they are responsible for me starting this whole journey into visual art. If you decide to try some out, I would say just start with two or three of your favourite colours. Then if you enjoy working with them, you can start to build your collection.
Thank you for your lovely comment, and I hope you have a great weekend.
I love this! Seems to me a did something similar with white pigment ink years and years ago. Thank you for putting colors used in description box👍💕
Yes, there's nothing new about the technique itself - an oldie, but a goodie - and you could definitely get a similar effect with white pigment ink... or indeed any colour of paint. No need for it to be white! Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for commenting.
Fantastic tutorial, Alison. Thank you fir sharing your technique 👏
Thank you - I don't think I can really claim it as "my" technique - though I can't any longer remember where I picked it up along the way (probably Tim Holtz...) but I'm very happy you enjoyed the video. Have fun playing!
Love the first two when they are all laid out together at the end. Deliciously grunge and gorgeous thank you for sharing
So happy you enjoyed it - thanks so much for watching and commenting.
So beautiful, every time i love your colors 💙 "que du bonheur" de vous voir travailler --> only happiness to see you work
Thank you so much for the lovely comment, and for the translation... though my French can actually manage that much! Hope you are having a lovely week.
@@w0rdsandp1ctures Great if you speak French well👍I had noticed some expression sometimes but not knowing if you spoke it. It’s simple for me since I am French. Good weekend too 😊
My German is better than my French, but I can cope pretty well in French too (especially when it's written rather than being spoken very quickly!). Sadly both of them are better than my Czech, which is what I need where I'm living now... but I'm working on it!
You are so delightful to listen to! I love your sharing of ideas..definitely a follower of you! Thank you❤️
That's lovely feedback, thank you so much. Thank you for watching, commenting and subscribing - welcome!
Lovely technique. Thank you Alison. 💙 🩵 🤎
I always love the results of this technique - an oldie but a goodie. However imperfect they are, they look good!
This is just the effect I've been looking for! I tried using stencils and a thin layer of texture paste, but the image was, of course, too prominent; I hadn't thought of using paint.
Thank you.
By the way, Turner was my great, great grand uncle.
Oh my goodness... that's exciting. The artistic gene must be strong in you!
So glad you like the paint resist - it's a beautiful subtle weathered effect. Don't forget you can use other colours besides white, which gives you endless variations and possibilities.
Thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comment.
Oh I love these Alison! Thank you for sharing! 🩵
So happy to hear that - thanks for taking the time to let me know.
These tags are gorgeous!! TFS! Love your amazing channel!!
It's a great technique to play with. Thank you so much for your lovely comment, I'm delighted you're enjoying the videos here.
I like to stamp with a VersaMark watermark stamp pad and then use white embossing powder. Once it is heated with the heating tool is very resistant to the ink and wipes easily. You also get a clearer image and you don’t have to worry about getting all of the paint off of the stamp.
Yes, of course that's an option as a resist. (There are lots of ways of creating a resist, after all.) But as I think I mention in the video, embossing powder gets you quite a glossy finish, whereas this is more of a weathered, distressed look, so it's actually aiming NOT to have a clear image. For sure, if that's what you're after, embossing powder is the better bet, but that's not what this technique is about really.
Interesting that you like Versamark... I've never got on with it as an ink. When I'm using embossing powder I tend to use Archival when I want a really fine image (for instance if I'm embossing my word stamps) and Distress Ink if I want a more full-on effect, as it tends to be juicier. I long ago gave up on embossing inks... I find them unpleasantly sticky, and I don't like the sickly sweet smell either!!
Thanks for watching and commenting.
As always so beautiful and informative.
That's lovely feedback to read... thank you so much.
Thank you Alison! Didn’t know of this technique, will definitely give it a try.
It's such a great way to create a resist... hope you'll have fun playing.
AGAIN ANOTHER AMAZING VIDEO!!
Thank you so much - happy you're enjoying them!
Beautiful tags! Thanks for sharing.

beautiful tags!! thanks for sharing your process!! Love them!
Happy you like them - thank you so much for your lovely comment.
Oh, I like the subtlety of the paint resist. And these colours make me happy. I think I'll be doing this tomorrow 😍
Yes, I love that you can have that subtle matte look to the resist. (I enjoy a glossy embossing powder resist too, but this is a different look for a different effect!). Hope you have fun playing - and don't forget you can use other colours besides white, which gives you endless variations and possibilities!
So glad your channel came across my feed. Just love you. You do things that are just beautiful. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks
Happy you found your way here - welcome! So happy you are enjoying the creative playtime - thank you so much for your lovely comment.
Unstoppable delightful indeed.. ♥
Thank you so much for watching and for your lovely comment.
Hello Alison! I’m up early today so was able to start my day checking out your Few Minutes of Fun video before moving onto the various tasks and things that need doing before my play time can begin. It’s been quite a long while since I’ve played with resist techniques so this was a lovely reminder of that and your tags are just gorgeous! It was also interesting to see the comparison of the inks and sprays using the paint resist technique and to see how vibrant those sprays are more so than the inks which appear more muted. I usually play with one media at a time so playing with more than one type at a time will be another fun thing to add to my growing list of FUN. Thanks again for sharing your creativity and inspiration! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! 🙂
I do find a touch of resist irresistible... happy to have reminded you of some of its delights! Hope you got your tasks done nice and quickly leaving you plenty of time to play. Have a lovely rest-of-weekend!
Love watching you create beautiful art work. Gathering lots of tips and tricks along the way. TY💜💜

Thank you for another play with color, love it & so much fun! I can hardly wait to see what happens next! It didn’t look like you used distress paint, can we or does it have other properties that don’t work with this technique? Thank you also for the reminder about cleaning up paint right away! Erica❤
Distress Paint can certainly work as a resist, but it will look slightly different. It's got a bit more of sheen to it, whereas the PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylics have a very matte chalky finish, so they give you more of a weathered look. But yes, definitely give it a go with your Distress Paints... and remember you can use any colour of paint, which gives you endless variations and possibilities.
Thank you so much!! You have so many little hints!
New Subbie!!! I love this technique!!! TFS❤❤
That's great to hear - welcome! It's an oldie but a goodie, and I love the faded distressed look you get with it, compared to - say - using embossing powders which can be a bit glossy. Hope you'll have fun playing with it. Thanks so much for watching, commenting and subscribing.
Hope you put together a follow-up video so we can see what the final outcome is with your tags. Are you stamping on an image? Are you die cutting an image? Or maybe you are thinking of a mixed media dimensional image? I very interested.
Oh, I'll definitely turn the camera on when I get around to using these backgrounds... There's no definite plan yet, but all of those are excellent possibilities.
I usually wait until the tags let me know where they'd like to go next. Sometimes that happens the next day; sometimes a couple of weeks later - depending on both my busy-ness levels, and on when the inspiration turns up. Sometimes tag backgrounds wait literally years for the right next step to emerge!!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
What kind of paint are you using?
I love your tags - sooooo beautiful and my favorite colors.
It's PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic in Snowflake, as listed in the description. It has a very matte chalky finish, which means you get a good contrast with the translucent glow of the Distress Inks. Happy you like the tags, thank you.
Loved the results. You’re saying paint resist, is that just an acrylic paint or is it a gesso you’re using?
It is paint - it is the PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic in Snowflake, as listed in the description. I know I said "gesso" somewhere later on in the video by mistake, and you can absolutely do this technique with gesso, but it's the PaperArtsy acrylic paint I'm using in the video. Happy you liked it, thank you.
What tags did you use please. Are they watercolour card? 😊
No, they are manila tags... there is loads of information about both these tags, as well as generally about papers and the effect they have on the mediums you apply in this video here: ruclips.net/video/2gUKA8QcGuI/видео.html
@@w0rdsandp1ctures
Thank you so much. Just love your work and inspiration 😊
@@chrishicklin2197 You're welcome - happy to hear you're enjoying it all!
Alison can I ask what pain is your white paint - is it gesso? Xx love your videos obviously xxxx
Sorry - I know I did call it gesso later on in the video, but that was a mistake - it's PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic in Snowflake. I've added it to the description now. Happy you love the videos, thank you.
This is really a wonderful technique and I think I like the more matte of the paint resist than with embossing powder. Please tell, what's the format of your tags? I made a try on my quite tiny tags (4,5x9 cms) that I had in my stash after last weeks Deep Dive and oh, inking this kind of tags and flicking them really make the difference with other (most white) sorts of paper.
Yes, I really love the matte look of the paint resist too... it has a weathered look which the glossy embossing powder can't match (though I like the light-catching glossiness too sometimes).
They are size 8 tags - so 6 1/2 inches by 3 1/8 - that's about 16.5 x 8(ish)cm. It really is amazing how much difference the paper surface you're using makes to your tags... so happy you had a good experience with experimenting.
@@w0rdsandp1ctures Thank you Alison. I now ordered the 6x12 cms, it were the only ones I could find. Quite strange isn't it. Anyway they are better than the 4,5x9 cms that are really tiny. I printed some printables with paperdolls that I made to measure (lot of fussy cutting though, especially the teeny tiny ones to fit those tiny tags). When I don't do inking I mostly cut my tags myself from whatever paper or cardstock that comes into my hands.
