Wax resist flower

I love the colours in this card. Those of you who visited my blog last Wednesday may have seen the stash which had just arrived. This image is from the Darkroom Door set, used together with the Adirondack inks which I showed you then.
I stamped the image, tore the edges and then coloured in the petals with a yellow crayon (pinched from my granddaughter's crayon box). I scratched at the wax with a pokey tool and then began to sponge on the ink, starting with cranberry at the top and then with caramel at the bottom. When I had finished inking I rubbed the waxed part with a paper towel to remove any surplus ink!
I tore the background paper and then stamped it with a Crafty Individuals crackle stamp and then my SU spotty wheel.
A length of raffia was attached with the ribbon and it was done!
