Ink, Glimmer and Wax

 

Hello,

 Welcome back to my little crafting place! 

Today I'm sharing this card using Spellbinders'January Glimmer of the Month and Wax Seal of the Month club kits.  

I created the background first - a white square card blank cut to fit the Glimmer plate, whixh I inked with many shades of blue and purple ink pads. I then used the Glimmer plate and the Aura foil that forms part of the kitI was really happy at how it turned out - the Aura foil really shimmers and dazzles as it catches the light

For this wax seal I first heated some blue wax, stamped then cut out the flower head. Next I heated gold wax, warmed the seal and pushed the blue flower head back into it, poured the gold and stamped the seal in.

I left the image in place and removed the excess wax from round the edge of the seal while warming a mix of blue and purple shades of wax beads, Once ready I poured it into a rough oval and pushed the seal into it.  I liked the way the flower shape kind of melted a little into the gold.  I looks kind of faded and vintage - well I think so anyway!

I finsihed this card off with some strands of blue and purple waxed twine and a snetiment using one of those in the Glimmer kit and some plain dark blue card
