I will try and explain this as best I can........
Tools you will need:
Wax Paper
Brayer
Glossy Cardstock or
Colored cardstock for a tone one tone effect
Classic or Spectrum Pad
Iron
Cut cardstock pieces to workable size, I tend to keep mine 4.25 x 5.5. I also cut my wax paper to roughly the same size, crinkle up really well, flatten. Sandwich wrinkled/flattened wax paper between cardstock, glossy sides together. Run iron gently over sandwiched paper, no need to press hard or too long. Separate pieces. Ink up your brayer up with your choice of ink and bray over the entire glossy side. I've also heard you can sponge over the surface and it will make a different, but similiar result. I've not done this, just heard about it. You can also do the same technique with plain cardstock, any color, and it will look like tone on tone stamping, very similiar to using the On Safari bg stamp. No need to brayer when using plain, colored cardstock. That's it..........have fun playing, it's a great technique!
HTH, I hope I didn't leave anything out!
