Make Your Own Background & Waxpaper Resist

I'm a swap "addict!" I've also decided to become a challenge addict! I just finished this card for blusky's Embossing Folder/Waxpaper Resist swap and then checked out Penny's Challenge #17 and it was to create a project and use no designer/patterned paper! This swap card fits very nicely! The background for my card was created using a SU embossing folder and wax paper to create the resist on glossy cardstock and then I brayered over the waxed impression (after I ironed it onto the glossy CS!). The technique can be found in the resource section at Splitcoaststampers.
