Where does the time go????? I have realised it is nearly a week since my last post !!!!
For our card this arvo, we used the Techinque - Crayon Resist. It doesn't matter how often I see this technique, I never seem to tire of it.
It is not my usual card, but I thought I would try & start using some of the colours that I don't usually go for & this being one of the combinations that just happened. The tutorial may be found on this
post. The layout of the card has been around for sometime, but I wanted something easy to start off the new year!

I randomly stamped my images onto the
Glossy Cardstock using
Staz-On Ink & allowed to dry.
Using a
White Wax Crayon, I randomly coloured around stamped areas that I wanted to keep white. I then grabbed my
sponge,
Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Yellow & Regal Rose Inks, & sponged all over the card until such time I had all the white coloured & I was happy with the result. Once it was all dry, I buffed using a tissue.
I adhered the
Glossy Card to the piece of
Early Expresso Cardstock & tied a piece of
Ribbon around the end. I stamped my greeting onto a scrap piece of
Whisper White Cardstock in
Early Expresso Ink, punched it out with my
Decorative Label Punch. As I wanted to add a small border around the white, I punched 2 pieces of
Early Expresso Cardstock with the same punch & cut both these pieces in half, one crossway & the other downways. I adhered 3 of the 4 pieces to the greeting piece.
I then adhered the top of the greeting to the back of the stamped flower piece prior to adhering to the card. I applied 3
Rhinestones to the bottom of the card.
