For some reason these wax seals have been calling out to me lately so of course I decided that I needed to buy the kit from Spellbinders and see what I could do with them. They are a lot of fun to make, working them onto a card design has not been so easy! This is the first card I finally finished with them.
I chose the colors from challenge #588 at Color My Heart Color Dare for the inspiration of today’s card. I used journey, sundance, paprika, and the background is closer to lagoon in real life than in the photo.
The Quick and Simple Details:
- background embossed with retired folder from Stampin’ Up!
- wax seals made with assorted colored collection from Recollections
- wax “stamp” from Honey Bee
- Sentiment from Taylored Expressions
- adhered a small amount of rafia behind each seal
Additional Challenges:
NBUS #59 – use stuff that you have not used before
Allsorts #768 – Anything Goes
613 Avenue Create – Anything Goes
We Love 2 Create Challenge #1 – Anything Goes w/mixed media
