Prompted by the Paper Artsy and the SSS Monday challenge, I used a resist technique with wax paper to create a wall around my door (I used a Crafty Individuals stamp as my Paper Artsy door was too big for my panel) . I embossed the wax paper with the Tim Holtz Brick wall folder then placed it over the card and, protecting the iron with scrap paper, ironed on the design.
Then it's just a matter of applying Distress inks with blending foam. Easy peasy...
For the "pink" twist I added my letter D in a salmon pink so it didn't jar too much with the earth colours of the picture.
Thanks for coming by,

I'd forgotten about creating a resist with wax paper - gives a great look! Love your stamp as well, and I think I may have that one somewhere!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great technique! I should try this one. Thanks for sharing your project with Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
ReplyDeleteGreat background for the door using the wax paper resist, one I must try too. Love the door stamp and earthy tones.

Lovely door and background, and a great technique.
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful door stamp. I love how you've designed around it and the contrast in the light and darker colors is so effective. Great resist technique too.

ReplyDeleteI realize I'm late visiting and the Craft Barn has already announced their next letter, but I vowed to visit everyone and even though I'm late, I'm here now.
ReplyDeleteI really adored how you took us through the steps you used to create this gorgeous resist technique. Your stamping is brilliant and the resist technique is well thought out.
Thank you for the lovely comment you left on my blog. Your resist project is really great - love the idea of using the wax to create the wall effect Xx

I love the wax resist around the door. A new technique for me to try as I have that stamp but have never used it.
