CRAYON RESIST TECHNIQUE

Just found this great video tutorial using crayon resist - any old white wax crayon will do for this!





Great for last-minute Christmas cards, don't you think?

And you can use other colouring techniques as well: not only the dye-based ink pads referred to (called water-based in the video) but also Distress ink pads or sprays like Glimmer Mist. You can even use water colours!

Ink pads used in the video are by Ranger: the permanent ink is their Archival ink pads, and the dye-based ink pads areAdirondak.

  1. Wax will do it too. I have the remains of a white candle that I use for resist.
    Wishing you a very Merry Christmas.
