Playing with Guilding Wax

 I had some fun experimenting with Guilding Wax for the Journal Together October monthly prompt last year. I used the Journal Romance Special kit from Elizabeth Craft Designs for this project.

I started by cutting the nesting rectangles from the Coffee Dyed papers & some brown cardstock. I rubbed some guilding wax around the edges with my fingers.

I cut the lock and key out of bazzil cardstock so I could use the textured side to see how the guilding wax would look on it.

I rubbed the guilding wax over the entire front of the die cuts. I love how it turned out! It gives such a neat texture.

I also rubbed some guilding wax onto a piece of white cardstock to create a matching paper!

I cut out two of the pocket pieces and used the matching die to create the openings. Again, I used my guilding wax on the edges and around the openings. I used the guilding wax paper behind the openings in the pockets. 

I decided to also cut out a flower and cover it with guilding wax.

I layered the rectangles and added the guilding wax die cuts to the centres. I attached the pockets to the bottom of both pages. 

Such a simple design but I think it looks lovely with the guilding wax.

I used the ATC Special Kit for the label.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you enjoyed this fun project and I'd love to hear about what you've made using guilding wax!

Have a GREAT day!
