Waxing Lyrical

  Hello

Thanks for visiting. 

 

Today I’m sharing my card for this week’s Daring Cardmakers Challenge, 

It’s Joanne in the hot seat and here's her challenge

Waxing Lyrical

This week and I'd like you to find a way to incorporate wax into your project — it might be figuratively (an image of candles, perhaps) or literally (e.g. use a wax crayon or candle to create a resist, try out a technique like this or this with wax paper, get out the encaustic wax and iron if you have them).

This was my second attempt at a card for this challenge, the first didn't work out in the time I had available so I decided to  go with something I could put together quickly - plus use up some of the inky card I'd made for last week!

 

 I used

Black card from some packaging for the large letters and the bunting

(I always keep nice card that comes as packaging or junk mail etc)

Bright inked card scraps from last week's project

A birthday cake candle from my baking drawer in the kitchen 

(I cut it down slightly to fit better)

Black and white twine

All letters are die cut

Bunting is had cut 

The candle is glued in place

The stars are punched

 

 

If I get the first card finished, I'll be sure to post it at some point!

Thank you so much for coming by

 Happy Crafting, Stay Safe,
