- Once the wax is melted over the melting furnace, I poured it onto the Maple Leaf Stamper. (Make sure to heat up the end of the stamper because if it is cool the wax will set instantly). I used my heat gun on it for a few seconds.
- While the wax is still wet, use a metal spatula to scrape off the excess wax.
- I had my heat gun going nearby and used it to heat up the spatula as well. This gave me more time to work before the wax set.
- To remove the wax from all my elements (spatula, spoon) I found it easier if I heated them up for a few seconds and then used a baby wipe to clean off the wax.
- Be careful and avoid touching the metal directly while cleaning to avoid burns.
- Next, melt the background color, I used black melts from the Tuxedo Wax Melts, and then pressed the maple leaf stamper into the black poured wax to complete the seal.
- I used the Bee Creative Silicone Craft Mat to pour the wax onto. Once it is cooled it peels off really easily.
For my background, I used a variety of fall-inspired distress oxide inks (see supply list below) and ink blended them onto a couple of cardstock panels.
- Next, I used the Fall Leaves 3D Embossing Folder to add the detail embossing to the blended backgrounds. To make the foliage pop, I used a brayer and Bee Creative Gold Metallic Ink to add touches of gold and detail to the background. You may notice more detail on this card below as I initially used black ink and really disliked how it looked and before tossing it I thought I would just try saving it by using the Gold ink over top. It worked, I was really impressed with the results as it deepened the details and I was happy I hadn't thrown it out.
- Before trimming each panel slightly, I splattered them with some black ink and set them aside to dry.
- I then wrapped some black and gold bakers twine around the panel and secured the ends on the back of the panel with tape.
- The foliage I used on the card fronts comes from the Lovely Layers: Autumn Bouquet Dies.
- I then created the bouquet and glued it in the center where the twine crossed.
- Next, I glued the wax seal in place by using a wax seal sticker.
- Add the panels to a black piece of cardstock and glue them onto an A2 top folding card base.
- To finish each card, I added a sentiment from the Heartfelt Hello Stamps and Dies that I first stamped in Bee Creative Gold Metallic Ink and then heat set it with gold emb. pwd. To make the sentiments level with the seals I used Black Foam Dots.
Let me know if you have any questions about the process. It is very hard to explain sometimes and way easier to watch. If I have time I will create a Reel over on Instagram for you all to watch.
I hope you enjoyed today's Ink Blended Embossed Autumn Cards. Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
