Today we're celebrating the birthday of my lovely, talented STAMPlorations teamie, Monika! Monika is doing a spotlight feature on the STAMPlorations blog tonight, (with a little bit of hijacking by Shery ;) ) where you'll be treated to not one, but two technique videos.
I thought I'd make her an encaustic wax card after being inspired by this card by Birgit/Biggan. I hadn't tried covering die cut flowers with wax before so it was a new technique for me. And as I've used a die cut, I'm entering it into Virginia's View - Die Cuts.

Cool scene and neat flower. Makes a great cad. Nice.
ReplyDeleteHi Shirley. I thought you had used the encaustic wax technique, but couldn't figure out how the flower fitted in. Fabulous use of a die cut, love it. Thanks for the lovely surprise. Have a great day! Hugs Monika xxx

ReplyDeleteAMAZING! Always love when you do that - you really make me want to try this as well - lucky Monika, to get such an amazing card!
ReplyDeleteIs there any technique you aren't good at? THIS IS GORGEOUS! I love the wax but, I can't do it well at all. That added flower is amazing~

ReplyDeleteStunning, Shirley ... your encaustic cards always are ... so gorgeous! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteCovering die cut flowers with wax....say what? Obviously, I have missed your previous posts or my poor old brain has totally forgotten (option two is the most likely reason!)
ReplyDeleteThis card is amazing! I am heading over to Mr. Google's house the minute I leave here to check it out!
