I decided to encourage you a bit to join us in our current challenge Wax Lyrical.
Although I am not an expert in this field I would like to show you that anyone could play with wax, even not having special, fancy tools!
I can guarantee you great fun!
I have prepared a male card where I used wax seal refills ( the one and only wax I could buy here) in silver and gold, to make a background.
Using my heat tool I started by melting the wax on gessoed piece of cardboard.
Here you can see a coat of wax and some dripping added.
Unfortunately the whole piece started to crack...
so I gave it a coat of Deco Art crackle glaze to emphasize the effect.
I stamped some images on tissue paper and glued them with gel medium to the background.
I finish my piece off adding more stamping and some metal elements.
I hope this inspires you to have a go at playing with wax
There is still time for you to enter our current challenge.....
