Chocolate Baroque sample 2 - October 2021

 

Hello again

My sample this time uses a pretty stamp from the Butterfly Poppy Collage set and an older technique which seems to have gone out of favour or forgotten! 😊

I stamped the butterfly panel from Butterfly Poppy collage  and then stamped it again and embossed with clear embossing powder.  This was torn and cut out to add a bit of depth. 

The white panel behind was embossed with a diamond folder to mirror the stamp diamonds. Unfortunately this is not showing in the photo.

The background is done with the wax paper technique which is simple to do and can give interesting results.

My card has the wax paper scrunched up, but you can put it through in an embossing folder to get different patterns.

I scrunched the wax paper , smoothed it out and ironed it onto my piece of card. Use a piece of copy paper on top  to iron. Please don't use your main iron in case the wax seeps through the paper onto the iron!

The pattern from the wax will act as a resist so that when you ink over the pattern 'pops'.

I like this technique as it is quick and simple and the wax paper can be manipulated to get different patterns.

I hope you have liked this .

See you next week
