Ten min Challenge Lesley's Colour Challenge

 
Hello Everyone

oh my goodness wait till you see what I played with this morning

but first let me give the scoop

first it's Lesley turn to come up with our challenge - It's a colour challenge

she did such a wonderful job of creating these colours!

take a look

 

and Nancy put them in these beautiful little flowers

what a great team we have I am so proud of them!

ouh and I have another little bit of news

sadly my sis is away this weekend - I know we will miss her but she is putting on a huge event!

I am happy for her!

But we will miss her uh??

okay so today I tried a new technique

it was on splitcoast but it did not use Stampin Up Product

sooooooooooooooo oh yha what did I do??? I did it with

ALL STAMPIN UP product

and then I went further and I invented a brand new technique using some of the same products but some of other ones

and I am really think that I may hold out on this one just show you the photo and actually play with this idea for some of my convention swaps - wouldn't that be so cool???
okay so the technique was called

 Encaustic

but I did the Carole'Anne way he he :-)

Surprised??
lol

 

Supplies I used

oh I want to say that I had lot's of trial and errors here before I decided exactly how I would do this

okay supplies

WATER COLOUR CRAYONS

WHITE GLOSSY CARD STOCK

AN IRON (MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE STEAM OFF)

ALOT OF BABY WIPES (HE HE )

SCRAP PAPER

A DOSE OF PATIENCES WOULD ALSO BE GOOD

TOOK ME 3 HOURS TO MASTER IT HE HE 

 

so my first step 

is that I took my iron right on top of my glossy cardstock

I am heating up my cardstock

 

this is a  better photo of how I heated up the glossy card stock

okay now get make sure before you start this part 

you have your water colour crayons ready to draw on you hot glossy cardstock

 

I started with colur with my crayons

 

then add a little white crayon right only your iron

 

now go hard he he

just sweep your hot iron right over your coloured card stock

 

make sure to wipe up your iron

I have an iron specifically for crafting and it never leaves my craft room

 

I used my hot iron

and used the tip to make grass marks

 

looks soooooooooooooo cool uh?

now I am going to use the good old trusty stamp set

The set is Called

Lovely as a Tree

its such a wonderful set

 

then I used Black Craft ink and I stamped the tree

and then ouh yes I pushed the limits

yes ME push the limits 

(see I tried with staz on it was not dark enough - and craft ink don't dry well)

so yha I embossed it

lol

 

and it worked

yhe

then I cut these in half

 

well I am not doing too bad for tine and now I just need some card stock and a greeting

 

oh yes and I added a few little birds I just drew them in with my black stampin marker

 

now for my greeting

 

now I am ready to adhere and add brads

but you know that Madame Vilaine is about to win right?

 

okay I am almost done

phew what a long post

I am having issues with posting photos today I am not sure if its typepad 

but each photo is taking anywhere from 10 to 12 min

I have been hard at it since 5:45

Yummy color combination! I posted mine!

[Carol]

Great spin on this technique!! I have a mini craft iron that I purchase at my local craft store--flat, non-stick, no holes bottom--that would be perfect for this technique. I'll have to give it a try.

[Leigh]

Oh wow, how awesome. I've seen the encaustic wax technique before but you are so clever to think of using the crayons. Beautiful card.

[Linda]

This is beautiful Carole-anne Love the card and want to try the techniques -- but first I need an iron - I'm not sure that I want to use the one that I use for sewing/quilting!!! It wouldn't be pretty!
Thanks for the great tutorial.

[Patrice Herrera]

Wow what a cool twist on this technique. I like the fact that you used SU products. Thanks for that. Now to get a flat iron...... Have a great weekend Carole'Anne

[Darla Benson]

You are so brave to try this new technique! I read about it when the Weekly Inkling came out, but I just couldn't wrap my head arounf it. You made it look so easy! I love that you found a way to substitute SU supplies!

[Rhonda]

Oh this card is so beautiful!
Rhonda

[Colett R]

Very neat technique ... I guess it's a good plan to have a 'designated' iron! Unless we step it up a little on hubby's shirt ... hummmm. Your design team is doing some awesome stuff as well!

[Sage Kimble]

Great card. I wonder about you sometimes, Carole'Anne. What won't you try next to get a unique background technique!!

[christina d]

It's a really pretty card and I love the technique.

[Tammy Jackson]

Beautiful!You are so smart my friend. You always show us new and different things.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your new design team. I visited every one of them.
Don't forget my pic of Max tomorrow. : )
Big HUG to you and belly rubs to my furry friends.

[lisa808]

Neat technique.

[Sharon L]

So I'm lookin at my iron. How often do I iron, you ask? Not! I'm thinkin I need to add this to my inventory. I'll do it! If Hubby asks, I'll say CaroleAnne and Max made me!!! Hee hee!

This is great. You are such an inventor. You little Einstein you. Thanks for spending the long time it took to make this for us. You are so ingenious and smart and cute. Did that make you feel good? Good, I was trying. I miss Sandi and hope she is having a wonderful time. Roscoe says hi to the fur kids.

Cool technique - I'll have to give it a try.
Love the finished project!
Cynthia

[Nancy Dawson]

Too Funny... I have a place bookmarked to try using the crayons to melt with the iron! So now, even more a challenge... thax for the inspiration. Love your card Nancy

[Robbie Rubala]

Oh, I love this technique. Going to go buy a cheap iron so I can do this. I have the watercolor crayons and hardly ever use them as I don't know all they can do. Can't wait to see your convention swaps!

Robbie

[Roberta Fieth-Bond]

I love the card. I have that stamp set and never use it much. Now I will drag it out with the crayons and iron. Fun weekend ahead for me since hubby will be working.

[Chris in CO.]

Love the card, it's great. (do you remember taking your old crayons when you were a child and holding them against a hot light bulb?)

[Darla Benson]
