What a fun, fun technique challenge over at Hand Stamped Sentiments this week. Bust out your crayons and an embossing folder for a fun and unique technique to create one of a kind papers.
For this challenge card I used the new Woodgrain TIEF from the Holiday Seasons Catalog along with the Autumn Accents Bigz Die. To bring it all together I added a crinkly ruffle of First Edition DSP, Daffodil Delight Seam Binding, a Petite Pair greeting, and a scrap of Victoria Crochet Ribbon.
For this technique:
1. Cut off the wrapper on a white crayon
2. Place a piece of white glossy paper glossy side up on a textured impressions embossing folder (TIEF) and rub with the crayon.
3. Use a brayer or sponge to add ink to the glossy paper and watch magic happen.

I love the way your background turned out! I just got this embossing folder and this seems like the perfect way to break it in. Beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteTotally cool! yet another way to use this wonderful folder. I'm definitely going to CASE this technique -- and probably the card, too.
ReplyDeleteThis is sooo cool! I think I am going have to go to the dollar store and get me some crayons as I don't think I have any white ones. Is this fun or what? I now have a real reason to buy crayons for myself!

ReplyDeleteI LOVE this! I only used a brayer when I did this folder but the sponge is a great idea!
