TLC693 EOINA: Crayon Resist ~ {06/04/2018}

[Cook22]

I had originally been planning to use Crayon Resist as the Everything Old is New Again challenge back in April, but was struggling to come up with a sample that I was happy to upload - and in the end I gave up trying and went with the Hinged Card for that month's challenge.

But...Lydia's VSN challenge about removing colour from our focal images caused me to use one of the pieces I had stamped while trying to produce a sample I was happy with, and it was one of my favourite VSN cards. So I decided to go ahead and feature Crayon Resist after all.

This first featured as TLC09 (wow!!) way back in 2005 , and then again as TLC117 in May 2007.

Beate's tutorial and beautiful example can be found here: CRAYON RESIST.

Please choose the Technique Spotlight gallery when you are uploading your Crayon Resist creations - choose Technique Spotlight from the first dropdown menu and Crayon Resist from the second. This is much appreciated as it helps build a wonderful resource to provide inspiration. Don't you love going into a library and being able to head straight to the shelf you're interested in? I like it in the library and I like it in the galleries too!

Here's a link to our TLC693 Crayon Resist gallery


I made two samples. The one with the flower and the bunny takes inspiration directly from Lydia's "refrain from colour" VSN challenge. Sure, I could have masked the flower for a similar effect, but covering it with a crayon is quicker than stamping and fussy-cutting a mask ;-).
For the second one, I used the crayon both to help keep the doors and windows in the Bethlehem silhouette white, and to add some rays around the star.

This is a neat way to preserve what you have colored before adding in the bg color! Thanks, Sabrina. It's great that you recycle these older techniques.
