WAXED PAPER DIE-CUT BACKGROUND

WAXED DIE-CUT BACKGROUND

Making the scrumpled waxed paper background the other week, made me think....

I've been using waxed lunchwrap with my doiley dies because it reduces the amount of paper left in the die, but this means that I'm left with a lot of waxed paper die-cut doileys.... I have actually used a few on some of my cards but mostly they end up in the bin.

This time I ironed the cut-out, waxed side down onto plain coloured card.  The result was a clear (clearer than this photo would suggest) albeit subtle impression.  The die-cut doiley still ended up in the bin, but at least I got a second use from it.

Remember to use a fairly cool iron on a dry setting.
