Crayon Resist Technique - Welcome Christmas Card

This is a card I made using the Winter Post stamp set and Heard from the Heart sentiment stamp set.  I used the crayon resist technique to add highlighting to the snowflakes and the sentiment. This is one of the prettiest snow flake stamps I've seen.  I also wanted to feature the new colors that came in my first SU demonstrator kit which are the Pacific Point, Rich Razzelberry, and Daffodil Delight.  I also used the Scallop Trim border punch.  Added a little ribbon and cold cording and stick on rhinestones. 

 

For the crayon resist, stamp your image on glossy cardstock with Jet Black StazOn ink.  Let it set for a few minutes.  Then take your white crayon (traditional Crayola crayon is what I used) and color around your image/sentiment.  Use a sponge to apply the dye ink colors directly from the ink pad over the images and sentiment. Then take a paper towel and rub.  The crayon wax resists the ink and leaves a nice white highlight to your image.  This is one of my favorite techniques because it is so simple and uses so few items.

I've Done It! Embarking on New Career

I'm embarking on a new career. I'm following my passion and starting a career as a demonstrator for Stampin Up. I have been a customer for years and I like the company so much, I decided to demonstrate for them. It is a good way to make some money doing what I love to do in my spare time. I love to play with paper, stamps, ink, and all the other embellishments and tools to create cards and other papercraft items so this is a perfect match for me. Things have changed with my other vocation of medical transcription, and I thought I would take it as a sign to finally begin my career in the crafting world. Stampin Up is a great company and has great products so it will be easy for me to demonstrate and sell. This blog will be for posting my SU only projects. I have another blog Stamping Therapy where I will post everything I make using other products that I love. I would love your feedback and any advice you have.
