Wax Paper fun~

I have been 'experimenting' this week, as my husband calls it, in my Scrap Room with several resist techniques and Distress Ink. First I used a regular Crayola crayon~ "blue green"~ to draw spirals on a blank white card, then blended ink over the drawing.

I tried it again using a plain uncolored wax crayon and wrote words on a blank card, then used red Distress Ink~

Today I used regular kitchen wax paper and an iron. The iron hasn't seen the light of day for awhile! LOL~
I crumpled up a piece of wax paper that had been cut to fit my tags. Then I smoothed out the wax paper  and placed it between the tags, like a sandwich. Next, I used a dry iron on each side of the sandwich for about 5 to 10 seconds. Remove and discard the wax paper. When you hold the tag (or card!) up to the light, you will see the waxy design on the surface.

Now, the real fun begins. Mist, spritz, or blend ink over the waxy surface and watch the design appear!

See the awesome texture the wax leaves behind?! I matted the tag and embellished it with K& Co die cuts.
