Here's one of the cards with the Crayon Wash background technique using the Quilt Top folder and Coastal Cabana ink:
The detail in the framelit from the Stitched Labels is so beautiful! You can see that I used the 1-3/8" Scallop Punch on the center THANK YOU image too:
And the 2nd card uses the new Climbing Vine embossing folder with Petal Pink ink:
I love the soft and subtle look of this background technique – what do you think?

I’ll have to try this crayon technique. Watched the video. Amazing. Who would have thought of that.
You really are a clever little dicky bird Kelly.
Kind regards from down under.

Kelly this is a great technique, I am sure I have a white crayon but I think any light coloured crayon would work too. :O)
Neat idea! I think you must dream up these ideas while you sleep! 🙂 Loved the Joke of the Week! TFS!
WOW! Loving the Crayon Resist Technique….need to try it with some of my favorite EFs! TFS it!
