I started with a new challenge that I saw from Julia Aston's blog - A Vintage Journey; Melt It. I haven't played with melting in a few years, and I really wanted to try it again!
Oh my! Did I have fun! I don't have encaustic wax, so I improvised with crayons! Yep, just melted them onto my craft iron. I liked this end result, so I am entering it into the challenge.
Since I had all the works out, I went ahead and made a second card, but this one is for the CAS on Sunday Challenge - Die.
I used CUTplorations XO die [discontinued], and a heart die from Lawn Fawn. Yes, the background panels are melted crayon :).
Another totally fun day for me. I'm glad to be back joining in! :)
Thanks for stopping by~

Amazing! It's funny, I was packing some stuff and I set aside a brand new never used encaustic kit to get rid of. Now...I'll have to think more LOL. That blue one is stunning!
Wow - these are fantastic! I've never before heard of the melting products you used.
Two amazingly wonderful cards. I love the look of your crayon one especially. That is so cool!
