Keep your friends close at hand

My stamp of a box of crayons seemed to be a fun focal point for Daniel’s ATC. The stamp called out for a resist technique to color the thin lines of detail.

I chose to emboss Crayola name in black to maintain the iconic color scheme. Perhaps this use of resist is not as magical as revealing the image when swiping color over a clear embossed image. But I found it to be a very functional used as a new stamper who didn’t how to color tiny areas.

I also embossed the sun and colored. I enhanced the sun with hand-drawn circles and painted some of the sun rays with metallic gold and silver acrylic paint. I used miscellaneous stamps with distress inks for the background.

I like all the details---the BG is neat with the linen and spirals. I like the 3D effect of the embossing for the crayons and sun. Neat ATC!!
