This is an Easter card I made. I used a technique called "wax resist." To make your own card using this technique you will need:
- Cup of water
- Cup of acrylic paint (just a little bit)
- Empty cup
- Dropper
- White crayon
- Paintbrush
- Cardstock
- Heavy books
- Draw a design that you want to be seen using a white crayon onto cardstock.
- Run the cardstock under water to wet it down (Get it soaked but don't tear it).
- Mix a little bit of paint with a little water in your empty cup using your paintbrush.
- Suck up some diluted paint with your dropper.
- Squirt it on to the paper. You can tilt the paper around to spread the paint. Let it run off the page too.
- Let it dry and set it under heavy books to get the wrinkles out.
If you want an easier version follow the steps below:
- Draw a design that you want to be seen using a white crayon onto cardstock.
- Use a paint roller or a large paint brush to paint over the cardstock.
- Let it dry and set in under heavy books over night.
