Background Swap Postal

 

I posted off my Stamphappy ATC background swap last week. I used a wax resist technique and I was really pleased with the final effect.

Here is a basic description of the technique:

Emboss wax paper with Cuttlebug folder. Sandwich wax paper between cardstock and iron with dry iron. Take care to protect iron & board from any wax from the wax paper. Embossed design will be transferred to both pieces of cardstock. Sponging with ink will make design appear. For these I used Ranger Distress ink.

You can achieve a similar effect if you scrunch the wax paper instead of embossing with the Cuttlebug.
