i dont have many stamps but when i saw this i just had to have go.... my only problem [and it was rather a large one] was that the wax peeled off or i couldnt remove the stamp, [or worse still took bits of the foam stamp with it!]
Anyhow, this one was a keeper :)
i used an old opera book page as the base, gel transfer, twinklings and when they got really thick and syrupy i brushed them over the raised bits.
guess it hasnt been a keeper for long, its traded!
i love the look of these so i will keep perservering, im wondering if my cereal box base was too flexible....or the wax didnt want to stick to the twinklings rather than acrylic paint.

Gorgeous Jen - and thanks for the link! Wax and acrylic paint aren't usually a good combination so I'd have thought the twinkling paints would have been a better option so maybe try mat board next time???
Brilliant creation Jen, how could you part with it :)
Margaret has some great tips and eye candy on her blog on beeswax stamping.
We figured out from Thealie's great tutorial that she uses a release. Versamark works like a charm. I know that letting the wax cool just the right amount of time helps you tip the stamp back and away from the card...make sense!
Beeswax is wonderful to work with!
Result Jen! this is fab, even if your stamp suffered, it was well worth it!! love it!
Whoo Gorgeous Jen :)
Haven't traded a card with you in ages, must do a trade soon?
I love this technique. I gave it a go and made also an ATC.
Your card looks so beautiful in those colours.
I love it! Stunning background!
