Paper Crafting Wednesday

Here are a few cards that I made at a class a couple weeks ago. The first two are simply done with chalk and the third is done with a method called burning. It's interesting, but perhaps a little dangerous :0).

You take a piece of glossy paper and literally run it through a burning candle until you achieve your desired darkend effect. Then you take your stamp and stamp it you paper. It removes the soot and leaves a pretty imprint of the stamp. Then you shellac it to seal it because you don't want the receiver of the card to get sooty fingers. Which reminds me, you need to be very careful holding the paper or you will leave your own set fingerprints on your project :0).
