Who knew wax paper could be so much fun!?

Ladies- Grab your roll of wax paper and get ready to have some fun! For this technique you will need an iron, ironing board, wax paper, an old dish towel, glossy cardstock, a brayer and a kalidascope ink pad.

Step 1
Set iron on the lowest setting. This does not require much heat. If the iron is to hot it will melt the wax paper.

Step 2
Cut a piece of wax paper that will cover the area you will be working on.

Step 3
Crinkle the wax paper into a ball and then unroll and flatten.

Step 4
Place the wax side down on the glossy side of the cardstock. Place the dishtowel on top of the wax paper and iron the wax paper. This should only take a few seconds. When you peel the wax paper off of the cardstock, you should see faint lines everywhere.

Step 5
Ink the brayer with a kaliedascope ink pad. Remember to keep the brayer to the same lines when using the kaliedascope pad.

Step 6
Cover the entire glossy carstock with color. This will take some time to dry so if you are working on another project, it helps to get started and then go back to finish this one.

Step 7
When the ink is dry, chose your stamp set and using StazOn ink, stamp image(s) to the glossy paper.
