happy monday tutorial

hello everyone hope you had a fantastic mothers day!! 

shelly here with todays tutorial. this is a really simple yet neat ( i think) technique called crayon resist. my pictures didnt turn out really great . i got this from scs so if needed you can just pop on over there and check this out. 

supplies:

neutral cardstock

white crayon

dye ink i used SU bordering blue and yoyo yellow ( lightly as i was going for soft and subtle)

stamp  i used flowers from a time for prayer set and sentiment from hello hunny set.

coloring medium (optional)

sponges

paper towel

step 1

Stamp an image in black or other dark ink.( i used SU close to cocoa)

step 2

Color image with desired ( this is optional) i used a stamp marker on mine.

step 3

Trim image to finished size

step 4

Apply white crayon to any area that should remain white.

 If you colored your image, apply crayon over all colored areas. It will keep the ink off. i outlined my image with the white crayon also

step 5

sponge over your image with dye ink continue until your entire piece of cardstock is colored to your liking

step 6

now take your paper towel and buff over your image. this will take the ink off your crayon mark.

thats it.. easy easy ! i love the look .

after i buffed off the color from my image. its subtle yet looks much better in the real. i just dont have good lighting for pictures today. ( i added stickles to the flower centers after i buffed the entire image)

so i hope ive inspired you to try this i think youll really love the look too:)

have a great rest of day!
