Hand Stamped Sentiments – Crayon Rubbed Embossing

Hello Ladies!

I don’t know about you but I seem to get busier and busier no matter what I do to catch up.  I so need a day to play and relax!

Are you ready for a new technique?  Over at Hand Stamped Sentiments my fellow design team member Dawn found  new technique – at least it is new to me.

I wasn’t sure how to do this technique so I looked it up on Splitcoast Stampers and found a tutorial here.  I started looking through my embossing folders and ran across the snowflake one so that is the one I went with.  I used Bashful Blue ink but the brayering makes it look darker than I would have liked.  You really have to rub the crayon on the cardstock as you can see from my inside piece it was not as good.  Here is my creation.

I painted the snowmen and the snow on the ground with my shimmer paint.  You should give this technique a try and play along with us this week.  Thanks for looking and have a Terrific Tuesday!
