Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday

I tried my hand at a new technique after seeing a tutorial over at the Papertrey Ink blog.  If you haven't been over there, you must go take a look!  The design team is made up of some the most extraordinarily talented ladies I've seen.  The tutorials are thorough and always inspires me to broaden my horizons.  This week's Make It Monday was about white crayon resist.  I love the results that Heather achieved.  You can see her complete video here.

Like I said, I did give it a try and look forward to doing it again with a better crayon.  The only white crayon I could find was an itty, bitty piece....barely enough for my sausage large fingers to hold onto.

Using that technique, a sketch I found over at 365 Cards*, and my scrapbox I came up with these 4 cards.  It's interesting to see how different they look using same technique and sketch just changing colors and embellishments.

*The challenge at 365 Cards also includes making a patchwork which I didn't do so this card will not be submitted over there.  Guess I need to get to work on a patchwork card for my friends at 365!




The one with the oranges and purples is definitely my favorite.  Today.  (It will probably change tomorrow.)  Right now I'm just in a bright color kinda' mood, I guess.



You can find it at the following challenge:
