Try this as well:
1. Coat a Stamping Square with black pigment ink and sprinkle
on Bronze UTEE
(you can use other colors, this color is just a suggestion).
2. heat and repeat until about 2-3 layers are built up.
3. Allow to cool a bit but not get cold.
4. Going in straight lines, draw several different colors all
next to each other using your watercolor crayons, until you have
a striped square.
5. heat with heat gun until very warm, then use a skinny hair
pick to run thru the colors going in the opposite direction of
the strips...this creates FAUX MARBELING. |

I rolled out sculpey as thin
as I could, pressed random designs in it, baked it, broke off
pieces and rubbed with metallic powder. For the tag I used melted
crayons. I saw the idea in Somerset Studio, but modified it alot.
I sharpen crayons over a big piece of paper and then melt from
underneath with my heat gun. then I took a tag or any paper and
put it face down on a mix of colors that I like and reheat with
the heat gun. You can do it directly on the tag from underneath
or sandwich 2 together and get a mirror image. Also, if you use
the crayon thick you can impress the stamped image like in wax.
In the stamp art example on the right, it was a thin coat so
I just stamped over the hard crayon. |

Rubber Stamps & Crayons Tips & Techniques

I have also used an electric
frypan to do this technique. Cover the frypan with foil, put
your piece of paper inside and hold it down with a chopstick
or something similar and with the temp. set at about 250-300
move your crayon around on the paper, or "puddle" it,
to make the desired designs.
It's a lot of fun!!

backgrounds with crayons - (try glitter
crayons too ). Put aluminum foil over the metal of your iron.
Turn it on without steam. When hot, move your desired color of
crayon around on the foiled iron apply crayoned iron to your
paper project...use zig zags, circles.......any movement creates
a variety of effects....... its best to have a big sheet of paper
out... or many lil' ones to do a bunch at once.... play with
this..it makes really cool background paper.....
I cover my craft iron with the foil...heat
it up (no steam) then rub the crayons in all directions......
The glitter crayons are very cool.....Then you just rub your
iron across the card stock........It created some great background
paper...... I think you'd have to have a pretty large (area)
stamp image, or be
able to sharpen the daylights out of the crayons continuously....as
it's hard to stay in lil' lines.....If you do use them...I always
put a piece of paper over the finished design and apply iron
for 10 sec. or sew.(maybe not as long on paper as on fabric.enough
to pull out the wax to set color....... it gives a fun childlike
(kind of)
effect.....which is nice .....being out of the normal beautiful
watercolor effects..etc.....
I prefer to color in , with the prismacolor
pencils.....I still use the iron on them sometimes, or the acrylic
spray sealer to set the color...
How to make Crayon Paper

Here is my offering for making Crayon Paper. I love to do this
and the effects are quite different every time. Our Technique
group just completed a study on this topic and we received some
lovely,
innovative cards. You're only limited by your imagination!
Supplies needed:
Index stock
Crayons (Crayola brand in the US)
Glitter crayons
Gem Tones
Regular Crayons
Iron
Heavy duty Aluminum Foil
Thick pad of newspapers
Instructions:
Place the pad of newspapers on the ironing board or table. Cover
the iron with foil and be sure there are no holes in the foil.
Turn iron on to the cotton setting. While iron is heating, peel
back some of the paper from three crayons you've chosen to use.
When iron is hot, hold it upside down and gently push the lightest
color crayon onto the foil. Put two or three puddles and quickly
turn iron over and press onto the index stock twisting and lifting
at the same time. Repeat this step until all three colors have
been placed on
the index stock. Do not try to cover all the white part of the
index stock. When you are done clean the foil by ironing on the
newspaper. Throw that sheet of the newspaper away before ironing
again.
This card stock can now be used to make boxes, backgrounds for
stamped images, stamp image on it and cut out. Stamped images
may also be heat embossed. Your imagination is free to experiment.
This is a simple and quick way to get a different look for your
stamping.

Take crayons and shave small slivers
off onto a piece of aluminum foil. After you have a nice pile
built up, heat the foil from the bottom with your heat tool.
The crayon shavings will melt to the foil. You can then cut or
tear around the meltings and use it as embellishment. I do this
quite often for my collages!
You can also use crayons as a wax resist.
I like to use dark paper and a dark colored crayon. I scribble
all over the paper with the crayon, and then I ink up the paper
with clear embossing ink. I then pour several colors of EP on
the paper. The EP will only stick to the areas that are not scribbled
with crayon...way cool background!!
