Hello and happy Friday everyone!
Welcome back to my blog for another new Daring Cardmakers Challenge. This weeks challenge is set by Joanne and its called;
WAXING LYRICAL
Joanne says:
'I'd love to find a way to incorporate Wax into your project, it might be figuratively, perhaps an image of candles or literally e.g. use a wax crayon or candle to create a resist, try out a technique with wax paper, or get out the encaustic wax and iron if you have them'.
Ooooh I do love this challenge as there's so many things you could do to incorporate wax into your creations. So for my card I decided to use a white wax crayon on water colour cardstock. I started off by drawing some bunting shapes and some dots onto my card. To get good results I sharpened the crayon a little. Once I was happy with the results I went over the whole card with water colour paints. I love how this turned out and I think I'll be experimenting more using this technique. I recently bought the most cutest of stamps by Kate Crane its one of the mini series, this one is called 'Birthday Cake'. I stamped the image and coloured it in using water colour paints, before adhering it to the main card using foam pads. I added some finishing touches using a glitter pen.
I hope you enjoyed my take on this weeks challenge. Show us some of your creations and don't forget to share on the Daring Cardmakers blog. Thank you so much for stopping by and I wish you all a very happy weekend. Check out all the inspiration from the DT over on the Daring Cardmakers blog;
Resist techniques are such fun aren’t they, it’s like magic as the design appears when you add colour! Love this Rizwana and you definitely get extra virtual brownie points for wax two ways!
