May Card Club - Card #1 - wax crayon resist & watercolour, a metal embellishment and some doodled lines

It is always a good time when you spend time with like minded people doing creative fun!!  My friends were back for cardmaking yesterday and we did some very creative & artsy cards!!

For our first card we did wax resist using white wax crayon on white cardstock.  The cardstock was cut to 4" x 5.25", we placed them on the raised side of embossing folders and rubbed wax crayon ( on its long side) all over our paper until the raised areas were well covered in wax.  You really can't see where it is so you just go around several times with good pressure. Next, we added watercolour!!  It is best to add very saturated colour so the while crayon really shows up!!!  We used the heat gun on low to aid the drying process.  I let them choose which metal embellishment they wanted and then we cut a hole in their backgrounds using a 1.25" square Nestibilities.  

I gave them all black cardstock which allowed them to make their background any colour they liked!! We glued our backgrounds to our card fronts and then added the metal embellishment which had 3D foam tape on the back.  We finished off our cards by adding some lines and dots with a fine tip black Sharpie marker.  Totally artsy cards that are very unique!!!  A very fun evening!!!  Therese
