I found some tutorials on YouTube for creating backgrounds with melted crayon. It took me an hour to find my craft iron - had it about 10 years and never found a use for it before. I love this technique! I used Crayola crayons; 1 yellow and 2 shades of green. Then I cut all my pieces out of the finished piece. So quick and pretty! Buffed it a little with a soft cloth to make it shine. Dies: CL/Fanciful Flourish, SS/Circle on a Line, MB/Tessatina. Punches: MS/Buterfly, Fiskars Flowers. Matted on dark green DCWV and adhered to white base.

I don't blame you for loving this technique. Your card is stunning. Fantastic shades of green and such a fun layout. I like how you cut all the pieces out of your crayon bkg. Very pretty.
