The fourth and sadly final challenge (This has been so much fun!) challenge is to make a card, scrapbook page or any paper project using the Wax Paper Resist technique. You will need wax paper, an iron, glossy cardstock, a paper towel, ink and a sponge or something to blend the ink. If you don't have all the supplies you can enter a project using designer paper. I did a quick video tutorial for you to see how to do the technique. I hope you get to try it. It is a lot of fun, easy & quick!
I decided I needed to send my sweet. hard working, deployed husband one more card! He should be home in a few weeks! YIPPEE!
Here's what I came up with:
Airplane was cut at 2.5" from Everyday Pop-Up cards.
Top Note was cut from Elegant Edges at 2.5".
Can you see my wonderful hubby in his green flight suit?
Isn't he handsome? LOL!Recipe:
Card Base: SU Brocade Blue 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" (folded)
Card front: Wild Wasabi 4 1/8" X 5 3/8"
Other Cardstock / Paper: White, Glossy White
