For Joanne's Way's to Use it Challenge, to use your IRON! EEK! Luckily, I had done the Melted Crayon Background technique for VSN, and THIS time I actually had tin foil, so I could do it the "right" way...though don't worry, my iron was not harmed in the last challenge, hee! I did make the background this morning after my husband left for work....wouldn't want him to see me ironing!!!!! I did use blue crayons with specks of green and WHITE at the end! That's what made the foamy ocean look!

WOW!!! That turned out awesome!! I did the melted crayon during VSN also, and loved it then... so I was anxious to try it again. I'm seeing alot of the wax paper technique today, but not so many crayons. So I was excited to see yours!! The crayons made such a perfect ocean for your lighthouse!! I love how you put the word on your moon... hmm, or is it a sun? It looks great!!
