Wax Paper Technique

Supplies: Black cardstock, glossy cardstock, bl eyelets, Crop-O-Dile, linen thread, wh cardstock, Brayer, Wax Paper, Iron & Ironing board, flour cloth, Zoofari Stamp Set, Bl ink, Brocade Blue ink, So Saffron Ink, Bravo Burgundy ink, Aqua Painter

To make the background on this card, it's time to raid the kitchen! Use glossy cardstock for the base. Next, crumple a section of wax paper. Gently smooth the paper out on top of the glossy cardstock. Place a flour cloth on top and iron over your project. After ironing, peel the wax paper off the glossy cardstock and brayer with any color you choose. (I used Brocade Blue) The wax will resist the ink and you will get this neat Safari looking pattern! Remember to wipe off after you brayer with a paper towel to get rid of any excess ink.
