I'm a diehard crayon lover. I admit it, they were my
first love, and I still use them often, almost every
piece has a little scribbling, a little waxy distressing.
So you KNOW I was all over the latest Gingersnap
Creations Spicy Supply Challenge--WAX!
The icy silver rick rack is outlined on either side
with Pennywise Arts iridescent bubble beads--Pennywise
is hosting this round of challenges at Gingersnap, and
providing some fun prizes.
You know those old warming trays they used to use at
parties, for appetizers and such? The kind that plug
in, and the top gets pretty hot? If you have one, and
haven't tried this, it is SO much fun--just set your paper
on top of the hot warming tray, and color with crayons.
They get all melty and blendy, which is how I did the
background for this tag. It was going to be a skinny,
and it is skinny size--3x5--except I'm all about Christmas
right now, so it turned into an ornament tag, and the
icicles at the bottom, they just kind of happened . . .

Wonderful background and a great idea! Works for those who are lucky enough to have a hot plate on their cookers, too. I never liked crayons but I love this idea. Thank you x
Beautiful tag!
This is so very pretty and I just can't get over how you made it. I have one of those hot plates tucked away in my basement. Might have to give it a go!
Love this Trisha. Great waxy background and beautiful embellishments. Xx
Smashing background and a lovely ornament Trisha, x

You all can come to my house--I have plenty to share, and at least 5 warming trays . . .

How fun is this??? I love the idea of melting crayons for a background. Your tag ornament is wonderful!
Gorgeous! You reminded me of discovering the wonder of melted crayon...3rd grade, girls washroom, steam radiator. Skipped the paper LOL Oh didn`t miss the punishment though!
Ooooh, I'll bet that was one pretty radiater!! LOL!!
