Playing with Wax Paper

Hello my friends... I hope you all had a fantabulous day. Last night I played with a technique using wax paper and embossing folders  that I learned from watching Gina K's video Wild About Wax Paper. If you have not tried this you should give it a go...so much fun and the results are amazing. The must haves for this technique are:

• Wax Paper
• Die cut / Embossing Machine...I used my old faithful - Original Sizzix
• Embossing Folder (your choice)...I used a variety of folders from a couple of manufacturers
• Ink (your choice)...I used a variety of brands and colors
• White card stock...I used 80lb card stock from my supply
• Iron...Dry heat ONLY

Step 1: Cut a piece of wax paper to fit your embossing folder
Step 2: Using your embossing machine..emboss the wax paper
Step 3: Layer your embossed wax paper between 2 pieces of white card stock...I cut mycardstock the same size as my wax paper
Step 4: Using your iron lightly press the card stock sandwich with DRY HEAT for approx. 10 sec or so...this causes the wax to adhere to your card stock causing a resist image that will be difficult to see.
Step 5: Apply ink to the side of the card stock that your wax paper was on and watch the embossed image appear like magic. Wipe off excess ink with a dry paper towel

Please refer to Gina's video for details and a better tutorial on this technique here....it really is fun. Here are pictures of what I created last night....I pray you are inspired...enjoy...GOD bless and thank you for visiting me...(((HUGS)))
