Crayon Resist - quick steal the white crayons while they are sleeping!


One of my most favorite techniques is crayon resist. When I first learned how to do this I ran around looking for all of Madison's white crayons. What does she need them for, you can't see white on white :-) Then she found my white crayon stash and freaked out..."Mom, those are my crayons!!"

So here's a little overview of how to do it...

Supplies: Glossy Cardstock, Stazon Ink, White crayon, Coloured Ink and Sponge Daubers (one of my favorite supplies)

Take your glossy cardstock and stamp your prefered image in Stazon Ink, be very careful because you're stamp moves easily and can blur the image, also try not to touch the glossy side with your fingers too much as you can make finger prints which will show up later.

Once you have stamped your image(s), you take your white crayon and draw on the glossy cardstock where ever you want it to stay white.

Then sponge on your ink with the daubers, you can dab or rub, you'll have to practise a little to start off with.

After you have added the colour if there are any bits of crayon on your image you can rub them off with a kleenex (note to self: don't use kleenex with lotion!).


You can pick one single image or cover a whole sheet to be used on multiple cards, just like a OSW. Absolutely one of my fav's.

  3. Thank you so much for the refresher on crayon resist. I haven't done that technique in at least 2 years. I love your card. In Full Bloom is one of my favorite sets and a great one for the crayon resist. Great job on the card!
