With only a white crayon, sponge, ink and paper you can create your own beautiful designer papers. The cards below were made using Crayon Resist techique. Yup, you probably did this in elementary school but it's oh-so-beautiful in your card creations.
These three cards were created stamping black Stazon ink on whisper white cardstock, then afterward selecting sections to colour in with white crayon and sponging over top with three ink colours. I used Crushed Curry, Bermuda Bay and Melon Mambo inks. After sponging you only need to rub the ink off the crayon with a kleenex to reveal the white.
Here's a closer look at the end results.
The greeting is stamped in white craft ink and embossed in white ep. Stamp Sets: Sale-a-bration set "Happy Moments" (Free with an order of $65.00!!!) and Well Scripted #117072 (0n wood) or 118601 (clear mount).
I chose a different pallet for this card. Can you tell I was talking to my daughter while colouring these flowers? Inked with Soft Suede, Dusty Durango and Rich Razzleberry this is a more subdued colour scheme but I like it.
Hope you revisit this simple technique and create a unique card!
