The wax crayon tutorial that Helen Chilton had in the magazine showed 3 or 4 different techniques and they all had fab results. I followed the easiest one where you heat up the card stock you are working with (she used an iron but a heat gun works just as well) and then immediately colour with the crayon. The heat from the card will melt the crayon as it goes on. She left hers as is which has a streaky effect but I wanted the colours to blend in which is why I rubbed the cardstock with kitchen towel. The more you rub, the more the image shows through and the colours merge into each other. The other techniques she showed involved melting the crayon directly over the card to make drips....I tried this but I didn'd like it. You can also stamp into the melted wax to make a seal. The wax makes a lovely sheen on the card and when you crinkle it it cracks....fab and messy!<br />Hope this helps, and thanks again for your kind comments on my blog.<br />Hugs<br />CarrieCarriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00503998719642576934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5346260017800598364.post-37820888159663113472011-06-11T19:57:46.543-05:002011-06-11T19:57:46.543-05:00gorgeous tag...love the use of the pen nibs for th...gorgeous tag...love the use of the pen nibs for the butterfly bodies.
