2012 Technique Calendar - August - Melted Crayons

Today's technique is really fun if not a little bit messy...

2012 Technique Calendar

August

Melted Crayons

Supplies:

Cardstock
Iron
Crayons
Glimmer Mist (optional)
Ink
Rubber Stamps

Instructions:

1. Melt a bit of the crayon onto your iron.

2. Apply the hot wax to your cardstock.  You can pounce it, swipe it, rub it around, whatever you want.  You can experiment and have fun.

3. Continue adding additional colors until you're satisfied with how your cardstock looks.

I have to tell you I was having so much fun I made several different sheets with  all sorts of color combos.

To clean your iron off - wipe off the majority of the wax with a paper towel then rub the iron over a piece of scrap cardstock several times until it comes off clean. 

Optional - I wanted to add a bit more zing to my page since August is the dog days of summer here I thought a bit of Glimmer Mist was called for.

I finished off my calendar by stamping the edges and adding a few extras....

So there you go...

have LOADS of fun playing with your crayons ;)
