Multi-color Crayon/Embossing Resist Tutorial

Click Here for the Tutorial

Hi Everyone! I have been trying different ways to create my own background paper because I tend to use designer paper a lot and I want to utilize my stamps for more than just the primary image. The only thing I don't like is having to color a lot of images especially the non-bold type of images when creating my own background paper.

Well. . .here's an easy way to color your background using an old technique with a little twist. I call it multi-color crayon/embossing resist because rather than just using white crayon, you use different color crayons and mixing it with heat embossing, you can color your background using dye or pigment with a sponge dauber. It's a fast an easy way to color your images. It's especially fun to color flower images.

This tutorial uses white embossing powder but you can use different color embossing powders depending on the color effect that you want!! The crayon portion creates either highlights or shading to your images depending if the crayon color is darker or lighter than your ink color. Try different color crayons and see what you end up with!!
