Crayon Resist Halo

I saw something I liked and wanted to give it a try. I don't know how what I saw was made, but I decided to use the crayon resist technique by using the crayon around the stamped and embossed image. It looks a lot like a halo, so I'm calling it the 'Crayon Resist Halo Technique'! I'm really happy with the results.

Crayon Resist Technique

This technique uses a white crayon, sponging technique, and 2 colourful inks! I used Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight. The stamp set is a retired set, Organic Grace.

1. Stamp your image randomly over a piece of Whisper White cardstock. Pick a stamp with some white space for colouring in with the crayon.
2. Colour in the flowers with the white crayon.
3. Using a sponge and Daffodil Delight ink, sponge over the flowers, in a circular motion.
4. Using a dauber, fill in the gaps with Melon Mambo.
5. Sponge again using Daffodil Delight, to blend the colours.
6. Embellish as desired. I stamped a butterfly from a retired set, Punches Potpouri, once in Daffodil Delight, and once in Melon Mambo, and punched it out, and layered them together.
7. I mounted it on Basic Black and Melon Mambo, on a Whisper White card.

Have fun being creative!!
