Bethinking: Crayon Resist technique

April 05, 2008

Crayon Resist technique

The crayon resist technique is one of my favourites to use. The leaf stamps from this set were stamped onto glossy white card, then coloured in with a normal white wax crayon, stolen from my daughter's collection!

I then sponged Ruby Red and Really Rust ink over the card, and the crayon areas "resist" the ink, but the rest of the white gloss cardstock picks up the colours. This card is an Artist Trading Card that I did recently for a demonstrator swap - all of us created a different card using this technique.

The stamps used are from Artfully Asian, with the background being from Looks Like Spring and the word from Everyday Flexible Phrases. I'm waiting for my order of new catalogue goodies to arrive, so am trying to keep myself occupied by being creative in the meantime!

Good is good and bad is bad
You don't know which one you had
She put your books out on the sidewalk
Now they're blowing 'round
