TLC488 No-Iron Resist (6-30-2014)

[jdmommy]

I am very pleased to announce I am your new 5th Monday of the Month Hostess. You won't be seeing me often, but I hope you will join me on those Rare occasions!

Now to the challenge.


When I take out my steam iron, it seems to be a reason for my family to laugh, since I haven't used it for its intended purpose in forevah.
Many years ago, Beate gave us a tutorial for waxed paper resist that involved an iron. I discovered an easier way to get the same results.

1. Crumple waxed paper into a ball and press it into Versamark, then onto cardstock. Be sparing!
2. Emboss the cardstock with clear embossing powder using your heat gun.
3. Sponge a water-based ink over the clear ep, wiping with a paper towel to remove excess.
4. Use as a base layer/panel on your card.

Whoohoo!!!! Sooo glad you will be joining us, Anne!!!! Your first challenge sounds like a lot of fun....I'm off to the craft room to play!!!!

[fauxme]

Sounds like a lot of fun and much easier than my previous attempts with Embossing Folders and the iron. A good excuse to try something different. Thanks for the challenge. Your sample is just divine - so feminine.

Anne, your sample is lovely. The background has a marbled effect well suited with the soft purple you chose.

Well, Isn't this just awesome! Haven't been crafting too much lately, but thought I'd head over to SCS to see what's shaking! So happy to see you here. I hope to try this today.

What a fun technique, I have done wax paper resist a long time ago, enjoyed this one and didn't have to pull out the ironing board!

Terrific cards everyone!
