Crayon Resist - Baroque Motifs


At our stamp club this month we did the Baroque Motifs card in Night of Navy and Groovy Guava using the crayon resist technique.

We stamped gloss card with the baroque swirl stamp in night of navy and allowed to dry. It takes a little longer than we are used to as it's gloss card. We then drew crayon on the places we wanted to keep white. Different crayons will give you different results, for me the cheapest ones from The Reject Shop worked better than the crayola or texta brand ones, but any crayon will work. Next we brayered over the top with Groovy Guava ink until it was covered, allowed a moment to dry a little and rubbed with a tissue so that the crayon residue came off. Then we finished our cards.
