I had fun playing with this challenge. For this first card, I embossed the wax paper in the Dots embossing folder. I ironed it on glossy paper after stamping the Aster floral image. I colored the image with Ranger Distress markers- same colors as the ink plus green Shabby Shutters. I added the Pink Ranger Distress Inks with a sponge.
On my 2nd card, I tried something different. I cut out a Joy Crafts die and also crumpled up a 'strip' of wax paper. I placed both on the glossy cardstock and ironed them on after stamping the image. I sponged on Purple Distress inks. How fun, huh? I added some glitz with a Sakura Stardust Gelly Roll pen and Rhinestones colored with a Copic marker.

Your cards turned out amazing, love the purple one.
What a fun technique with beautiful results. Love how you stamped he image first and then did the wax resist. Both cards look great.
Beautiful cards - the backgrounds are sensational.

These are absolutely gorgeous, Shelly! I especially like the colors of that first one :)
Wow, Shell, these are stunning! What a fun technique - you always have the best cards and the best techniques to showcase! How fun it would be to stamp with you :)
Blessings!
Two beautiful cards, Shelly! Love how you handle different techniques and end up with such wonderful results! :^)

Love both of your designs. Two unique uses of the wax resist technique. I love the added stitching and large ribbon on the flower card and how you used the die cuts on the second card.
Hi Shelly! ooo, such pretty pretty cards! Love em both *Ü* Hope all is well. Have a great weekend!
These are gorgeous, Shelly! Love the muted colors. I don't think I've tried wax paper resist before. Looks like fun!
