Waxed Paper Embossing

Here is a new twist on an old technique. Remember waxed paper resisting? Instead of crinkling your wax paper, why not run it through the BIG SHOT to give it a design. You can do this easily with one of the embossing folders Stampin' Up! sells. Then use your brayer to add color over the embossed area. Where the wax paper is the ink will be resisted. After you have a cool background, embellish as desired. This one uses 2 stamp sets, the peacock is another one from the Ronald McDonald House Charity stamp set on the inside back cover of the new catalog. The flower is from A Beautiful Thing (pg. 106). The colors used are Certainly Celery, Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo, and Whisper White. The ribbon featured is the Whisper White Organza ribbon.
