CrafTangles September blog hop - Waxes

Hi and welcome to my blogpost for the CrafTangles September blog hop.


Our theme is waxes and CrafTangles has recently released 9 art waxes.
It was my first time working with this medium and I had a lot of fun creating this tag.


Here a step by step photo tutorial.
First I cut out the cardboard tag and squares. I collected the embellishments; chipboards, buttons, keys.


I also added some metal elements and Craftangles art stones.


On the edges I added texture paste .


Next I made black gesso by mixing white gesso with black acrylic paint. I also added texture powder to this mix.


I painted the entire tag with the black gesso. What a transformation!


After drying I rubbed the waxes on it. It's an amazing sight how the tag changes after applying the waxes. I used Iridescent blue, pink and violet and copper penny waxes .




I hope I've given you some more inspiration on how you can use waxes.

For a chance to win a goodie bag from CrafTangles leave a comment below and continue on to the next stop on the hop:  Monika's blog.
Have fun hopping and good luck in the draw.

Hugs, Henriette
