I had to do a wax resist card for a swap. Instead of just crumbling the wax paper, I ran it thru an embossing folder to transfer the design in wax, then sponged on Cameo Coral ink to reveal the resist design. In my opinion, a bit of it goes a long way, so I used just a strip on this card. It's accented with two different designs of adhesive paper lace. The butterfly is black embossed and watercolored with Cameo Coral ink, with Bliss Blue around the edges.

ReplyDeleteThe wax resisted strip down the side looks lovely. The butterfly looks striking embossed in black, then coloured with coral ink. Beautiful card.

Your waxed design looks just like part of a lace hanky. I love the effect and the colour is a super shade. Gorgeous butterfly. Thankyou for fluttering by # 29. Hugs Mrs A.

Beautiful card, thanks for playing along in our Stella Says Sketch challenge at Catch The Bug.
ReplyDeleteWow! I'll never look at waxed paper the same again! What an innovative technique and it really adds such a great feeling of elegance to your card. It pairs beautifully with the butterfly and I love the delicate look of the whole thing. It still has energy and movement and I really enjoyed your post. Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!

ReplyDeleteI remember looking at this before and then I got distracted. It is still just as lovely today! When I saw the later card I didn't notice the wax resist was in a design and now I wonder how I could not have noticed?! It is way cool!
